Swensen Sentral

We're in Boise for Christmas this year! We're so excited. The kids kept asking every day if we could leave yet. The only down side so far was that our 2 day drive turned into a 3 day drive due to a snow storm. We started our drive on Friday up to Roseville to see Grandma Bonnie. It was so fun to visit her, even if it was just overnight. She is such a happy bubbly positive person and it just makes you feel good being around her. Saturday we planned to finish our drive, but were met with a surprise. A snow storm in Donner's Pass closed the road temporarily and then when it was opened we were seriously going about 5 mph thru it. Not fun at all, with or without kids. We ended up having to throw down $90 for tire chains and then $60 to stay at a motel. So the normal 2 hr drive from Roseville to Reno turned into an 8 hr drive. Yuck! After our stay at Motel 6 in Winnemucca (Side note: that place is ghetto) we finished our drive to Boise arriving while the fam was at church...

So yesterday evening I heard a bloodcurdling scream, followed by a wail, the kind that lasts so long the child runs out of breath and goes silent. And then I didn't hear the follow up breath and cry, so I knew it was bad. I ran up the stairs to find Sawyer with his pants down after using the bathroom.....Are you ready for this? He slammed the toilet seat down on his you know what. Yeah, he was hurting, bad. I won't post a picture of it but let's just say its not flesh colored anymore. Of course my immediate reaction was to take care of the pain with tylenol and ice and comfort. Rick's immediate reaction was to research the possible effects this could have on future capabilities if you know what I mean. The verdict? It's going to be ok.
