Bumps and Baskets!

I really was not sure where to begin!  Just when I thought I was on a blogging roll I have now let 2 weeks pass without blogging.  It has been a crazy few weeks!  Well most of our weeks are crazy so I guess I should say crazier than normal! 

Our Easter Week began with a BUMP!  As we were getting out of church on Sunday night Lizzie jumped up on a banister and fell backward and busted her head open on the concrete.  In case you don’t know, the head bleeds A LOT.  I do not do well with head trauma at all.  It scares me and the blood gets to me.  Thankfully she never lost consciousness.  We quickly got her to the ER and stitched up.  After a few hours of observation we got to come home to wake her every hour for the rest of the night.  She has done great!  She has never been sick much and this was her first accident and she is a great patient.  I would have never thought she would be such a great patient.  She got the stitch out this past Monday and she did really well.  It is still sore and not easy to brush her hair but it is healing. 

I know this is gross but it is what it is!  This picture really does not even do it justice.  Yes, it was a job to get all that blood out!  This was taken after we got home and her arms had been cleaned.  It was all over her arms.  Thankful it was not any worse!

Lizzie and Sallie had their class Easter Egg Hunts and Parties on Thursday.  They do them in the city park.  A, Mill, and I helped hide eggs and set up the parties.

Millie enjoyed playing at the park and never said a word about not getting to hunt Easter eggsIMG_0411

Lizzie’s class walked to the park.  Here they are arriving.IMG_0395Waiting for the hunt to beginIMG_0406And they are off!IMG_0422Checking out the goods!IMG_0432Play time!  Lizzie loves school and her school friends but she loves her little sister more!IMG_0440IMG_0443IMG_0444IMG_0448IMG_0460The BEST FRIEND a girl could EVER have!!!  IMG_0464Sallie tried to get a head start and Daddy and one of her teachers had to turn her around!IMG_0469I am not sure how Sallie has any independence!  She had a little help from the teachers finding her loot!  I am thankful she is SO loved!IMG_0473IMG_0479Checking out her loot with some of her friends!IMG_0483It was a lot for me to ask of them to stop and take a pic with Daddy!IMG_0496
