My 10-year-old son wiped out on his bike this morning on the way to school and had to get 7 stitches in his chin! It's another boy battle wound! His bike is a mangled mess. The handle bars are all bent up. I keep asking him if he is sure he didn't get hit by a car! He says he just fell! The question is how fast he was going (???), which he won't answer! At least he was wearing his helmet! Here is a freebie for you:

I know how boys are having three of my own. This may not be your last set of stitches. I'm so glad he was wearing his helmet. This template is awesome! I'm going to make a LO right now!!!!!

I am thankful that your dearling was protected partially by using his helmet as he rode his bike. You know 10 year old boys as well as girls are very inquisitive in their activities. I know that as he has each stich, your heart felt everyone. Maybe you should let your dh or some male talk to him when you get a chance. Boys love to experiement with their boy toys and he will not be an exception. You have our continued prayers for you and your family. He will be all right. Just keep him talking.

So nice to visit your blog at such a late time of the evening. This is unusual for me, but I just had to stop by and say hello. What a lovely surprise to see another fantastic template with all those placements for multiple photos. So wonderful. What you can do to a rectangle template is just too fabulous for words. Even with placement for eight objects or photos, there is plenty of space to balance the design. I have seen templates for letter-size templates that crowds the design as it takes away from the overall essence of the page scrap. Love this template and all its opportunities to scrap my grandchildren and my one and only great-grandson. For some reason, I could not find Thursday's DD from GDS. But, today has definitely made up for that loss. Considering the large amount of freebies you have given us, I cannot in real honesty complain. Leavin LUV! XOXOXO

Yikes! So glad he had a helmet and is doing ok. My 2yo DD just got 6 stitches in the forehead last month after falling against our fireplace, so I have some idea how that ER visit must have gone.
Thank you for thinking of us in the midst of such turmoil and leaving us such a wonderful and beautiful template freebie. You are talented and generous. Thank you.

Ouch! Glad he is recovering okay. Probably hurt his ego more than anything else! Thanks for the template...it kinda reminded me of a bike chain at first glance :)

Ouch!!! I once paid $93 for a bandaid because my son got a cut on his chin and wasn't sure if we needed stitches! That's all he ended up needing, but you don't want to mess around with boys chins when they have to grow up and shave! Glad your guy is ok now... and thanks for the new template!

OMG, glad to hear he is OK and you didn't have a heart attack when you heard what happened. I guess that's part of raising boys, but I'm so not looking forward to all the worry. The good thing is he was smart enough to wear a helmet.
Thank you for the gorgeous template and have a great weekend.

Oh my! Glad to know he had a helmet on and is safe. Bikes can be replaced....! I wish my boys would like to ride bikes but nope...they'd rather be inside in this heat! Anyway, just saying hi girly!

HeatherB said...

Thankfully he had his helmet. I think boys are much tougher than their moms. I've got 2 of them, and than can be such daredevils! Thanks for the template! :-)

Thank you for this wonderful template, Andrea! I'm sorry to hear you and your son had to go through the trauma of bike-wrecking and ER visit, but like the others, I'm so glad he was wearing his helmet. Good boy! My 15 year old boy refuses to and I've been neglectful about forcing him to wear it.

Great template, thank you! Boys are boys... they can't ride their bikes slowly ;) It's a god thing he had his helmet on!

Joanna said...

My Little Ironies

  • I just had to tell my daughter that there was little probability that she could do eighty chores in two hours and 10 minutes to earn a giant lot of pet shops on Ebay that she wants to earn before the auction closes. That's at two chores per dollar. :)
  • We are helping my father sell an old vehicle and what do we find in the glove box...an unused 12 guage shotgun shell...that's my Dad!!
  • How does a three year old end up at church with no underwear on, especially when you dressed him and you know he had underwear on at one point during the morning?
  • The root of all toilet clogging evil is apparently a ball point pen and it's nearly impossible to dislodge one of those from the inside of a toilet.
  • You know you have to do some serious laundry when you actually consider wearing your 11 year old daughter's Hannah Montana shirt.
  • My 6 year old daughter got a comb stuck in her hair and we had to cut the comb into little bits to get it out of her hair.
  • My kids keep breaking the toilet seats! I guess I need a bulk package of those too!
  • Chocolate chips are not a food group.
  • My toilet seat says "Hailee" on it!
  • If there's work to be done, all of the kids need to use the bathroom or get a drink.
  • All two-year-olds think the baby swing is for them!
  • When you have 6 kids, carpet is your enemy!
  • You know you have a large family when your grocery receipt is 4 feet long.
  • The toilet is clogged and my husband found a plastic easter egg in the pipe.
  • My daughter just asked me if she can put chocolate sprinkles on here melted cheese sandwich (really???)
  • I burned up another hard drive on my PC! Can I buy a bulk package of those too?
  • Well actually, my sand pile is full of socks and silverware!
  • My sand pile is full of socks!
  • The key to my treadmill is missing again...can I just purchase a bulk package of them???
  • I fixed my daughter's glasses with JB Weld!
  • I have a pile of sand on my leather couch.
  • My daughter lost her glasses in the snow on the way home from school in January. Someone found them in March and turned them into the school office! Amazingly enough, the school remembered we lost them in January. Wow!
  • Just when I think he knows better, my 10 year old son plugs the bathroom sink and the emergency drain in the sink basin to soak his grow creature, turns on the water, and forgets about it until we notice water flooding out from under the bathroom door! And yes, he locked the door so no one would bother the grow creature!!
  • It's time for another worn out pair of the hubby's pants to disappear! Aren't kids suppose to be the only ones who are attached to clothing?
  • My 4 year old says she needs "peace and quite"!!!!!
  • My Husband says there's a perfectly good reason for the leatherman being in my dish drainer.
  • I have a leatherman (fancy pocket knife) in my dish drainer. I don't know why.
  • My kids are storing a tumble weed in my garage for the winter!
  • My 10 year old son informed me that people have only discovered about half of the world's caves (thank you BBC and planet earth!)
  • My baby's car seat is full of finely crushed graham crackers (?? Little babies don't eat graham crackers)!
  • My husband's shoes are filled with Mr. Potato Head parts!
  • My two year old thinks the new baby swing is for him! He can even climb in by himself and work all the controls. Boy, does he have a rude awakening coming!!
  • I have a giant mud hole in my back yard.
  • My vacuum is fully of plastic easter grass.
  • My kids are too full to finish their dinner, but they have plenty of room left for cake!
  • I have a giant laundry basket full of socks, and we can't find a single match!
  • Miscellaneous items found while cleaning out my kids' toy box include a flashlight, rocks (no suprise), a sea shell (we don't live by the sea), a drill bit, a stapler, and some tree bark!
  • My daughter's medical bills added up to about $18,000, but we got a free sippy cup and a ball signed by the Utah JAZZ Dancers!
  • I put safety locks on the tops of my outside doors to keep my three year old from escaping and she figured out how to open them with a broom in approximately five minutes.
  • I bought the EXPENSIVE vacuum this time only to find that my 3-year-old took it apart with a screwdriver!
  • I haven't showered for 3 days, but my house is clean!
  • I have 38 winter gloves of various sizes in my coat closet and none of them match.
  • We're out of peanut butter because my husband used the rest to catch a mouse in our garage!
  • Yes, my son won 1st place in the science fair at school, but he didn't turn in half of his assignments this term?
  • No matter how many toys my toddler got for Christmas, I still find him in the middle of my kitchen floor sitting in my crock pot!
