Never a dull moment... (no pun intended!)

Tonight while excitedly placing Christmas decor around the house (and half way through my second glass of wine!) my sweet, darling, little wild man managed to pull down the "A" from our "P-E-A-C-E" stocking holders, mere seconds after they were placed on the mantle and looking so nice! How does he ALWAYS manage to find trouble? Or does trouble find him?
The blood started GUSHING (in two spots on his head) and we all pulled together (me, Jason and big brother Max) to gather the necessities: infants motrin, bag of ice in a towel, BINKY... all jumped into the car for URGENT CARE in Issaquah. We left in such a panic, we didn't put Ava's shoes on! Of course when we got to the ER, the gushing blood had stopped and he was back to a happy little man!
Here we are waiting for the dr. to come tell us everything was ok, and to assure me I am not a totally horrible mother for not seeing that one coming!!! (BTW, the P-E-A-C-E holders and stockings are already DOWN for the season!)
No stitches needed, just a bandage on one of the spots that will fall off in a few days!

Post-ER ice cream makes everyone feel better!
