October 2013 must have been the month for freak accidents, because on top of my younger son cracking his two front teeth, my older son got his finger stuck in a hole in our fish tank lid and had to be extricated by the fire department! As I was trying to think of a title for this layout beside "Stuck Finger," the old rhyme about "Cinderella, dressed in yellow, went upstairs to kiss a fellow . . ." with its tag line of "how many doctors did it take?" flashed through my mind. Since the fire department ended up sending out five firemen to assist, this seemed like a good fit for my layout! I used the June double page sketch for the layout design, and am really happy with how it came out.

Oh my what a take! Little boys!!
The page is awesome in appearance with your design, color, and little extras.
Well, two good things came out of this event - he got to sit in the fire truck and you got a great layout.

Oh yes ... remember the days when I had two young boys at home, you never knew what was going to happen next. Great layout and love the circles with the embellishments in the middle.

I have two boys of my own (8-years and 14-years) so I know all about this kind of stuff!
Again, I love the colors that you chose and the embellishments. It all goes together very nicely! I really like how you cut the picture into a circle and added it over the others on the second page!
