Accidents

Saturday afternoon was a little "hectic" for us. John ran to the grocery store for me before going to the Priesthood session. While he was gone, I went to check on Brilynn and Maycie who were playing outside. Of course, I couldn't find them anywhere. I ran back to the house, put the twins in the wagon and started knocking on neighbor doors. After about 15 min, I started getting really worried and just knew they were covered in the hole that was being dug next to our home. Thank goodness that wasn't the case. Anyway, my neighbor soon came out and told me all the kids were in her basement playing and they didn't hear us because they were in the basement. While she was explaining to us why they were in the basement, Payge decided to TUMBLE out of the wagon. I quickly picked her up and realized the side of her face was scraped and a goose bump by her eye. I did a pretty good job of keeping calm until Maycie came screaming out of the neighbors house. They found the key to the treadmill and were sliding on it. Can you believe that? Oh my goodness, her poor little toe was completely peeled away. So, I picked her up and brought her back to the house. Thank goodness John pulled into the driveway at this time. I was no longer super mom and I started crying. I do not handle my kids being hurt "AT ALL." I am a total wimp when it comes to pain and even more pathetic when it comes to my kids. Anyway, John was able to clean the wound on both girls and get them settled down before rushing off to the Priesthood session. I really wanted him to stay home and help me but I knew it was important for him to go. I am so thankful that her accident was not anything worse. So...if your kids are wanting to play on the treadmill...just show them the bottom picture.
