The Fall

Well I thought that I would make another entry. I don't seem to be as good as I hoped at making these but anyway. My title does not refer to the Fall of Adam. It is about the Fall of Nathan. We were working at Charlie's aunt store for her one night a couple of weeks ago and we were getting ready to close. Well I have to admit the kids had done great up until about 30 minutes before leaving and then they were hungry, bored and going crazy. So we were closing and I told them to start putting things up. Well Nathan was playing with a flashlight. He was going to put it up and so he climbs up on the computer while I was in another area closing it down. Well I come around the corner to see him climbing down when bam. There he tumbles to the ground from about knee high and smack down on a piece of wood. He instantly gets quiet and blood is pouring. Yep I mean pouring out into my hands. So after freaking out and screaming for everyone to run and get in the car I get a towel to put on his head and apply pressure. Well in my mind I see me, Emergency room with 6 kids, and a long wait. I call Charlie to tell him to leave work now and meet me at the ER that Nathan has fell and busted his head. Well off we go with Emily and Ian in tears for fear Nathan is going to die(partial my fought since I told them not to let him go to sleep). So we get to the ER and register and they take us straight back. We have applied enough pressure(Ian and myself) that the gash is not pouring any longer. We go back and Charlie arrives to take the other kids. Then the doctor comes in and thankfully glues his head back together. We were in and out of the ER in 30 minutes. I know that in itself is a miracle. Well we ask Nathan what he learnt from this experience thinking maybe not to climb. Nope his reply "Take your socks off". The mind of a 2 year old. That is my Nathan.

April Fools

Well as we all know today is April Fools Day...tyring to figure out how to get the kids was pretty easy. I woke Ian up and told him it snowed so we would not go to school. He runs to look because here in Georgia we really don't get snow so he was excited. Once I said April Fool's he was like man. So then he went and did the same to his sisters. So that is the only joke we got on each other. However I was going to say...WE ARE EXPECTING AGAIN... but then I thought oh man I may jinx myself. So to all of you out there Happy April Fools Day.
