What's up. . .

So, Saturday night we ended up at mom & dad's for an impromptu steak dinner cooked over the fire pit. Boy was it yummy!!!! Chris had been working on a set of fork lifts for the tractor (welding them ~ he bought a kit off the Internet and had to weld them) so I went to tell him we were eating over there when he told me he had a little accident. . . He picked up one of the forks and went to step over the other one when he tripped, fell and hit his chin on the support thing that the forks hook onto (it's all steel, so that about sums up the damage!) after hitting his chin, he fell back, hit his head and dropped the fork on his foot/leg/groin. I felt super bad because we weren't home (most times if he is working on a project, I'll sit and chat with him or help him, but this was a welding project), but he said when he regained consciousness, he hurt ~ badly. Before we went to eat, he was going to take a shower, but to get his boot off, we had to find a flat screwdriver to wedge open the things on boots that you hook the laces over ~ they were smashed shut when the fork fell on his foot. Despite his pain and not feeling so well, he was very glad we went for supper because it was sooooo good! Dad took pictures of the cooking process and Taite asked him if he had a blog he was going to post them on ~ hehe!

Tonight everyone was pretty much all smiles ~ it was equipment handouts for football. Other than one over sized helmet, it went well. Taite had trouble finding a helmet that fit (well, there was one that was brand new, but how would that look ~ the coaches kid having the only new helmet?) so this one big guy put one on and pressed down super hard and had Taite see if he could turn his head and called it good; despite the 1 1/2 inch gap in the back of his head to the back pads of the helmet. . . Chris was not happy about that because at the Kasson equipment handout, they have to be there for 2 hours again ~ not like Taite wants to sit there, so that will mean I'll have to drive up to that one too. I'm not sure, but I think some of the kids will have cauliflower ear from trying on helmets :~)
