Despite the promises of more updates and blogging, and the fact that it was Crafty Tuesday, it has been a little quiet around BC Chaos this week, no?
(cue the crickets – chirp. chirp.)
But we have been busy RAGING. We were invited to Raging Waters today by our sweet friends Jamie and Audrey…so we spent the day getting very, very wet and full of sunshine.
4 Moms, and 15 kids. Yes. 15. Thankfully Em, Ad, Emma Jean and Audrey were the only “littles” who needed constant supervision – the rest of the kids were off and running doing the “big kid” slides and rides.
And the day was perfect, only marred slightly by the near-concussion.
Yeah, we had not even been there 15 minutes, and Addie came out of the kiddie pool screaming with a HUGE, purple, goose egg growing out of the top of her forehead. She kept insisting that she hit her head on the slide, but a little boy said that he had actually hit heads with her. We’ll never know the real story.
As for the rest of the story…I was pleased that I was able to maintain some form of calmness because I was FREAKED out. After an ice pack and an exam by the paramedic, it was determined that she was going to live. And after some cuddling and a little timeout – she was up and ready to go, like it never even happened.
We are up and ready to go, too. Precious few weeks til school starts and I’ve got a web project that I need to finish this week, so I’m not promising anything – but we’ll be back real soon.
In the meantime, “hang ten!”
Can’t imagine how you felt when you first saw her! Sure glad it didn’t ruin your day — or hers. Sounds like a great day, sans the “goose egg”.
I am glad Addie is ok. Sounds like an awesome time. Harper starts school tomorrow. Yikes!!!Enjoy the next two weeks.
I LOVE their bathing suits!!!
And… oh wow… we have had our fill of bonked (squished) heads this summer.
It’s not summer without some major child injury, right? Sigh. I’m she was okay, and I’m glad YOU were okay with it!! I adore Ad’s bathing suit – and the tan lines are just too much!!
