The Traumatic & Dramatic BUT Fun Weekend

So, let me tell you how we got this party, I mean WEEKEND,

started. As if Hadlee's strep throat on Thursday

wasn't enough, I picked Walker up at school on

Friday afternoon and took him and Haddie for flu shots.

(Note: Daddy met us there for back up!).

Walker was a champ and Hadlee was devastated.

It was like it hurt her feelings.

When we took baths that night and she saw the bandaid,

she started crying all over again saying..

"I don't wannnnnn shot, I don't wannnnn shot."

Call it poor planning, but after the flu shot Walker had a hair

cut appointment. He's also a champ at hair cuts

(since he started getting them at nine months old),

BUT still...not his fave activity by any means.

Later that evening we loved on Daddy

and sent him off to the deer lease.

Saturday I took the kids to a birthday party.

So fun because both kiddos were invited.

It's a brother/sister combo like ours who we met through soccer.

It was at the jumping place and the kids had a ball.

Walker and some boys were wrestling and goofing off

and I heard Walker say "HEY, you hit me in my flu shot."

Walker then lifted up his shirt sleeve to show the proof

(that was just a funny side story for ya!).

The party was a blast...BUT THEN

du du du dunnnnnnnnnn............

as we left the building Walker noticed all of

these chalk rocks next to the building.

He just had to have one and ran over to grab one

(against my wishes I might add!).

Unfortunately for him, he didn't notice the ledge hanging

against part of the rock wall. He bent down, grabbed the rock

and raised back up and hit his head on the steel ledge.

Just as nobody EVER told me about febrile seizures

until my own child started having them,

nobody also ever told me how the head bleeds like no other?!?

We rushed back into the jumping place, and several helped me.

The owners and the birthday girl's mommy were amazing...

at first they thought it needed stitches

but after they got it cleaned up well enough,

they decided it was okay.

Hello, vasucular head, easy does it on the blood.

This Mama don't like that!!!

Instead of the emergency room, we headed to Target for a treat

(the Ben10 watch Walker has been eye-ing for months!).

A lady stopped us in Target to inform me that my son's head was bleeding.

I wanted to say,

"Yes, I know. It just happened but we had to stop by Target.

We'll head to the emergency room after we shop!" HEE HEE!

The wound has not given us any more problems (but he did have to sleep on a seat cushion...nothing short of dramatic?!?).

Oh, do you notice the sticker on Walker's forehead? That was just some bed time fun!

Hummmm...who should I pray for tonight?!?

Haddie had us in stitches (ha!) as she thanked God for Target, HEB and WalMart.

Amen sistah. You can say Target again.

All's well that ends well.

While we should have been at church on Sunday morning (my biggest weakness), Walker dressed himself in the outfit that Kelli G. and Kate gave him when he was about three.

He LOVED this outfit. And obviously he still does.

(I will get ya'll back someday...the Strawberry Shortcake

outfit didn't work...but I'll think of something!).

And how in the world he can get Hadlee

to put on whatever he says, I have NO idea.

She and I fight every single day over the rain boots

(unless it's raining...then she usually doesn't want to wear them).

This time I went with it and added some accessories for her..

And it wasn't just the red bow and red leggings...

but also a yellow Ramone tatoo to complete the ensemble!And finally...Tough Man Pierce with a gash to his head,

a flu shot, and a soccer tattoo!!!

What a weekend! Really, we had a blast other than the flu shots and the head injury!!! Hope you had a good one!
