A Board! With a Nail in it!

Nothing quite like a rusty nail to add excitement to a dull afternoon.

We've been rebuilding our deck to make it safer and there is an ever-growing pile of junk forming, including many boards... with nails in them. I think you know where this is going.

I'm sitting on the couch updating some computer projects when Maggie is carried indoors crying and begging for her lovey. At first glance Daddy thought she may have twisted her ankle because she fell down outside, but then I take off her shoe and notice her toes are covered in blood. Cue hysterics from Daddy. Just kidding, sort of.

Scary looking foot is washed off in the sink, anti-germy spray is applied, bandaid (or ban-egg as Maggie calls them), Elmo sock, acetaminophen, blue-moon ice cream cone, and one call to urgent care (just to double check on those tetanus immunizations) and she's almost good as new. Daddy on the other hand is feeling pretty guilty that such an injury happened on his watch. Oh well, accidents happen.
