Ow

We had a great week. My mother-in-law came to visit and help out with the kids, Ethan started kindergarten, Maddie turned 3 weeks old. All very fun and eventful. I'll have to post pictures later. Last night at 2 am my father-in-law flew in to meet Maddie and spend the weekend. This morning Jason took Ethan and my in-laws on a 3 mile hike in the state park by our house. I stayed home with Madeline and Colin. Twenty minutes before they were due back, Colin really wanted to carry Maddie to the couch to hold her. I was carrying her down at his level and he was "helping" me. We were 3 feet from the couch when I walked into the wheel of a metal Tonka dump truck. I wasn't even walking fast. It really, really hurt, but I didn't think much of it. I sat on the couch and it hurt more and more. I looked down and knew my toe was broken, because it was sticking out at a 30 degree angle and swelling fast. I called Jason, and we spent the afternoon at the ER (expedited because he's a doctor at the hospital we went to, thank goodness). They set it, taped it, and gave me a lovely boot to wear for the next week. I feel clumsy and stupid and I'm in pain, but at least I'm not stuck using crutches with a newborn to take care of.
