Happy Birthday Sweet Pea - 3

It is a little late I know..
Sweet Pea celebrated his 3rd birthday in style with all his best little buds and budetts at "the bounce place." Despite the one casualty (myself) everyone had a wonderful time..adults included. The kids enjoyed the running, jumping, and climbing..while the adults enjoyed being kids!
About 20 minutes into the 2hr party I was enjoying the obstacle course..just off from a great win over Uncle E, Aunt S decided to take me on. Ok so the race if on! 3 steps into the obstacle course I take a leap only to roll my foot and hear a "pop" not much pain didn't think much of it I attempt to take another step..and there it is the pain as I fall to the ground. Stuck in an inflatable maze I manage to climb over the side and hop on leg style to a chair. At first I was challenged with "faking" the injury..but as my foot became larger I knew something serious had happened. Like any devoted mother I stayed at the party..after all the party must go on.. 3 hours later I found myself in the emergency room with a broken fifth metatarsal, sprained ankle and torn ligaments...little excited about the possibility of getting crutches and a cast! No cast just a giant boot and crutches...that lasted a few days! Ouch and no fun! I hope I never need them again!
