We had quite the week this week!
To start it off, we thought we were going to have a nice, calm, night watching the Yankees win the World Series. I put all the boys in the shower down stairs and started scrubbing Cardon. I got done with him and wrapped him in a towel and took him to Brad to get dressed. On my way back in, Justice yelled, "Mom, Talon is bleeding!" So I went in and sure enough his chin was split open and was bleeding. Brad grabbed him out, and Justice hurried and scrubbed himself. I called my Mom and she came over to watch Cardon and Justice while we went to Alpine Pediatrics after hours clinic. We asked Justice if he saw what happened and he told us, "that he and Talon were trying to trip each other." Obviously Justice succeeded. And he felt so bad!
We got to the Dr. and they started getting him numb right away. They just put some gel on it, because they didn't want to do injections if they didn't have too!
Poor little man was not to happy about being held down!
It was pretty deep and the fatty tissue was hanging out, and they had to trim that back. They got the stitches in and we were on our way! We have to get them out on Thursday.
Cardon was so concerned about his twin brother while we were gone! I had sent these pictures to my Moms phone while we were gone, and
Cardon had to hold my Mom's phone the whole time and keep looking at the picture. He would not go to sleep until we were home and he saw his brother. We didn't get home until after 11! Such cute brothers:)
Our next adventure began on Friday.
Brad and I went to the dentist because Brad needed a buildup. So the kids were at my Mom's house. We got to my Mom's and Brad was watching t.v. and My Mom and Jodie took Harlie to her 4 month
appt. I went upstairs to check something on the computer. Brad got up from the couch and started running toward my Mom's grandfather clock and yelling NO. I
immediately started running down the stairs and only made it about 3 steps before I fell and landed on my tailbone and down the stairs I went while hearing a loud crash and when I got to the bottom all I saw was
Cardon under the clock trapped and glass everywhere. Brad lifted the clock off of him and we headed to the ER. I could hardly sit in the car to hold
Cardon, because my butt was hurting so bad, but I was so sad for
Cardon. He had glass still in his head. My Mom met us over there because we couldn't have our other kids with us because of the flu pandemic going on. No children under 14 in the hospital. Talon was obviously so worried,
Cardon kept telling us Tally did it! And then Talon would say Tally did it in a sad voice. We went back and they removed the pieces of glass and gave him 2 staples, no anesthetic.
They checked him out everywhere else, and thought he seemed okay other than minor cuts and bruising. Poor little guy!

incident, while we were cleaning up the mess!
I am so thankful for my kids and am glad that they are okay! I just keep thinking how this could have been so much worse! We just have Justice locked in a rubber room for now so we won't have any more injuries for a while! ;)
Thanks for all the help from my Mom and Jo and Corey through all of the trauma.
And for all the family that called and text us to make sure we were okay!
We love you!
And I just have to add that my Dad was leaving for a hunt to Canada the day the clock tipped over and was on his way to the airport and was so concerned and kept asking if he needed to come home. I thought that was so cute and nice of him!
We hope everyone has a fun and safe holiday weekend!
