When Make Believe Meets Reality

My kids play the strangest games, especially during the summer. Hollee asked me to come into her room on Friday afternoon. I walked back to find this.....
Hollee had wrapped all the kids up in "bandages" in her own little "triage" room. It was pretty cute. Broken knee and wrist.
Broken ankle, wrist, and arm. Missing ear and punctures on the head.
Broken arm and leg.
They all listed their ailments (which were many with all the added injuries before they were done playing), but I only remember how a few of the injuries happened. Eli got bit by an American Alligator on his head, and Smeigel bit his thumb off. Notice here that the doctor isn't the only one missing from these pictures, we're also missing Jack. He didn't want to be a patient on Friday. He was saving that for Monday.
Jack was standing on a chair trying to reach candy on the table. Somehow he slipped and fell, smacking his chin on the chair on the way down. I took him to the clinic and he got 5 stitches.
He likes showing off his bandaid beard. (and messy face)
Poor baby.
The youngest of five and the first to get stitches. We always knew it would be him.

Awww poor Jack but be glad you don't have to pay the bill for all of those "injuries" Jack's bill is more than enough.

I can't believe he is the first to get stitches! We had those when Jordan was 3...then broken arms, broken noses....
