Just the other day, I was telling Rob that I thought our screen door was practical, but rather ugly. I'd prefer not to have it, but with all of the kids running in and out of the house so often, it just makes sense to have one. I guess I'd rather spend our money on other things, so I dropped the non-essential issue.
Until today that is!
After some friends left this evening (Hi, Brian and Jen--thanks for visiting!!), Rob set out to finish some lawn work, edging the driveway. Tyler, Anna and I were hanging out on the porch enjoying the nice weather when all of a sudden we heard a shot (or what sounded like one) and turned to see a hole in the screen door window, but the screen itself looked untouched...
I guess Jared heard the noise too and came running upstairs from his video game coma.
Unfortunately, he didn't even notice there was a hole in the glass and ran out the door to see what had happened.
The poor kid.
Once he opened the door, the entire glass panel shattered into thousands of little pieces all over him.
He's ok.
Here's the itty-bitty hole that was made--we're guessing it was made from a pebble that flew while Rob was edging...
We're kind of feeling lucky right now that one of us wasn't standing in the pebble's path!
And...I'll be getting myself a new screen door!

Well, there you go! I'm certainly glad you and your family weren't in the way. Sounds horribly dangerous, edging. :)
Congrats on the new door....sorta. :)
Wow, what a night! Congrats on the new door.
WOW! Thankfully there were no injuries other than a little cut. My parents had a patio glass table once and the heat caused it to literally explode into thousands of pieces. A mess of glass too. But yes, congrats on getting a new door!
