The boys and I have had a busy and eventful week otherwise. Including our crazy Wednesday which lead us to the local Urgent Care around 9 a.m. Samuel was running into the dining room, tripped and cracked his head on a dinning room chair. (Yet another notch on this child's forehead. ugh). He was screaming and as I picked him up the blood just covered
his face. I not so calmly told Benjamin to get me the phone as I was trying to stop the blood. I called our trusty neighbor, Rebbecca and asked if she could come to the ER with me. (She is the mom of 3 school-aged boys). She said "I'll be right there." And she was. Phew. By the time we got out the door the blood had really slowed down and I think just having Rebbecca there helped calm me down (I'm not too good with the sight of blood, especially in large quantity that seemed to be endlessly flowing out of Samuel). So, Rebbecca drove and Samuel calmed down and realized I was sitting next to him. (Kind of a treat since I really never get in the back seat with them these days). Since the blood had slowed and Samuel was calm we decided to head for an Urgent Care center close by (vs. the ER across town).



We went home for a couple hours and I put Samuel down for a nap. Not sure he ended up napping but he did rest some before we were off to Pumpkinville in nearby Leesburg for Benjamin's school field trip. The boys had a great time. It was unseasonably warm around 80 degrees and really a beautiful day to spend
