Who Won The Fight?

So the kids are both pretty clumsy, they get that from my side of the family. After all, my sister Amy did manage to break her toe simply taking a shower....

Last week was a rough one for both of the kids. I picked up Jackson from daycare on friday and he had a pretty big bruise on his face. Apparently he was trying to climb up or down the stairs at daycare and a group of kids was running up and tripped him, he fell down the stairs. She said he only cried for a minute or two, that he is a tough guy. Here are a few pictures of him:



Saturday, while waiting for Amy to drive up and visit for Art in the Park (I will blog about that later), Olivia and I had a girls day. We went to Pamida to pick up some stuff, went to get some groceries and then went out to lunch to a place called "The Brickhouse". Olivia LOVES this restaurant and was so excited to go there that she was running across the parking lot and she tripped. Well, the poor little dear hit the brick side of the Brickhouse restaurant with her face. She hit so hard that she left a slobber mark on the building. We went in and had lunch and she seemed ok, she cried off and on all thru lunch but let's face it, Olivia tends to be a bit of a drama queen. I've seen her cry for four hours over a bug bite or a scrape on her knee. Well, the next day when we woke up, the bridge of her nose was so swollen and she started to turn purple. I will post a few pictures of the progress over the week.

And Today (Saturday)

I have to admit, she is being a sport about it. She says it doesn't hurt and only took motrin for the first two days. I think it looks much worse than it is. We did skip a few events in the community this week because I didn't want gossip to start about how both of my kids were beat up. It looks like they got in a fight but we aren't sure who won.

Oh my goodness! What are the odds that BOTH the kids would be sporting some very impressive bruises at the same time!?! I'm glad they are both doing just fine and recovering nicely from their "trips". Give them both big kisses and hugs from Mark & I.
