Daddy's Halloween "Boo Boo"

Not too much excitement for the kids on this Halloween night. Dan created his own excitement with a trip to the emergency room. I had just taken Finn trick or treating (which he LOVED), and my mom, Christine, Kurt, Megan, Molly, Bob and Donna had just come over for pizza. We had the gates up in the family room to keep Payton from scaring trick or treaters at the front door. Dan went upstairs to change Patrick's diaper, and when he came back downstairs, he didn't quite make it over the gate and fell with Patrick. Patrick was completely fine, but Dan found his knee cap on the side of his knee. After screaming in pain for what seemed like an eternity, he was able to move his knee cap back into place. Thank goodness we had so many people over (especially our brand new nurse practioner, Megan!) because Bob and Donna took Dan to the hospital to get checked out. He's pretty swollen and sore, but doing ok. He'll follow up with our family doctor next week. Never a dull moment around here! I did manage to get a few cute pictures of the kids in their costumes before he took his spill!
