The kids got to feed the resident koi of the nursery. We go to the nursery fairly often and the kids really like the fish, so this was an awesome surprise.
We watched the machine that puts seeds into a little planting tray....
and saw the warming tables that help get the seeds germinated.
The kids were shown lots of cool plants.
When it was time to go, all the kids even got to pick out a free plant. Princess and Spike got some type of neat aloe and Sprout got a polka-dot plant.
So the day sounds quite nice so far, eh? It stayed that way for a while. We had to go run some errands and got home after Brady. We had not been home that long when me and Sprout were in the kitchen and tragedy struck. Sprout was standing on a five gallon bucket that she often is on in the kitchen and she fell off. I picked her up but did not notice anything wrong right away. Brady came upstairs and after a few seconds of trying to calm her down, we noticed that she was holding her hand weird and Brady saw that her arm was broken. It was horrifying. We left for the hospital really quick. The doctors and nurses in the emergency room were wonderful. They gave her some morphine as quickly as possible, which helped her out a lot. She was pretty funny when she was loopy, talking about pink and purple horses and how they liked to eat sandwiches and pizza. Everything was put back into place and she is now sporting a pretty purple cast. It was a horrible night, but I am just thankful that everything turned out alright. She does not even mind the cast (she calls it the fix), although trying to get her to wear the sling is an entirely different matter.
Here are some pictures I took today of her showing off her purple cast. She is such a cute little trooper.
Oh geez, sorry to hear about the broken arm. Glad she is doing alright.
