  1. oh my goodness!!!! And to think I've left my kids at your house before!!! Just kidding! My poor kids do not get to have these battle scars because they have an overanxious mother who sees all of these dangers before they happen and freaks out! I've always said I'm a horrible mother for boys! This list proves it! We've had a few broken bones but I can't think of very many other things. Of course, I have a horrible memory so if I ask the kids maybe we'll have more of a list. That would be fun to see! So glad you recorded all of these things. Obviously, they still have a purpose here on this earth! Thank goodness!
