Tree Free!!!

Ethan is such a ham....a few weeks ago, we had my sister's girls for a few days and while they were here they were playing outside and Ethan some how ended up with a splinter in his foot....OMG, you would've thought the world was coming to an end!  The girls and I tried frantically to get this thing out, but he wasn't having it.  He wouldn't sit still for nothing!  I got onto Pinterest to see about a solution and so I went to the cabinet to get the needed supplies to make the 'paste'....put that on his foot w/ a band-aid and it didn't work! Tried again, a little longer this time, but to no avail! So, I let it go for like 3 more days and when he started to complain about it hurting his foot, I didn't know what else to do, but say the first thing that came to my mouth and that was "Well, we better get it out before you turn into a tree"!  Oh boy, he said "I"m going to turn into a tree" and I said "we need to get it out or it's going to grow"....that was it, he got on the couch, held up his foot, and we got that dang splinter out.  Needless to say, he was a champ and now "tree free"!!!  Mother of the year right here I know...don't judge =) haha!!
