While I do like to joke about it sometimes, the answer is no. We do not beat our children. Even when they are extremely obnoxious. Which is a lot. And yes. That is a cast on another broken arm. Hayes fell on (or off, more like it) the playground at school last Friday. While Tyler was there. 
We did the responsible thing and took him to the doctor all the while thinking," Its not broken. We couldn't possibly have another child with a broken arm. He's fine." And the doctor thought he was fine too. No pain, no swelling. Just obnoxiousness. So we went home and went on about our business. Saturday I asked Hayes to fold a basket of towels and suddenly his arm was in excruciating pain. Enough pain to prevent him from folding. Yeah right. Fold the towels. But in his defense, it was starting to look swollen and puffy. By Monday-three days later-it was still sore enough we went back to the doctor (actually Grandma Jo was the lucky one to spend her entire day there-thanks mom:) and sure 'nuff, it's broken. I think Hayes was secretly a little happy about it.

Every once and a while, they're not obnoxious. Every once and a while, they're just so cute I can almost believe it will last.

Oh my gosh, that is so crazy! Please make sure that you tell Daxon that he doesn't need one too! I hope the rest of your month goes better :)
Oh, Em! Poor guy! Poor you! Funny story, and cute pics will make great memories! Love ya!
Got to love Boys! They are sure cute!
I think you're right, I think he likes it! Good luck, we all know you are a GREAT mom!
Oh, my heck! That is funny in a way! We know you don't beat your children...but at is TOO funny that they BOTH have a cast now.
Your boys look like mine. Jaxon has had not ONE but TWO broken arms in the last 3 months. Gotta love boys.
Wow, that is quite the feat, to have two kids with broken arms at once. I will no longer say that thing that you said two days before the first break.
You have the most adorable-handsome boys. Glad I finally looked at your blog. Looks like your family has been BUSY .. in more way than one!!!
