Boo boo...

It's been a while since we've had anything "drastic" happen, but leave it to Falyn to send us treking to the ER last night.

The day started out nice. Falyn went to school, Faithy and I played, she napped, I worked, picked up Falyn and waited for daddy to get home. We decided that last night was the night to finally get a tree. So first we went to the tree farm...you know the place where you chop the tree down yourself. Well, those just aren't the "right" kind of trees...they are too "bush-like". So, we ventured to Wal-Mart and found a noble fir. This thing is a SHRIMPY tree compared to last year!! LOL Heck I thik it's the smallest tree I've ever had! Justin swore that we couldn't fit an 8' tree in the living room, and I was pretty positive that's what we got last year. But, I let him have his way and we got the little 6.5'...and do I EVER mean LITTLE!! LOL Our poor Angel...she's HUGE on this thing! It's ok, Faith is already tearing down the decorations, so it's just there for Falyn's sake. Not for mommy's "decor". Just no one come over and see it...it's decorated half up with the breakable stuff and all the unbreakables are Faith level. ;)

So anyway, we get home last night and I was making up my big bowl of salad that I keep in the fridge (yay diet!) and all of the sudden Falyn falls (had my back to her, so not really sure what happened), but blood was gushing out of her mouth. EWW! I made her rinse and spit about a dozen times, not really sure at first where it was coming from. She said that she fell off the stool and hit the floor with her mouth. Ow! All I know is that I learned a new word yesterday! Did you know that the little piece of skin connecting your lip and gums up top is called a flangellum?? (sp?) Ha! I had no idea, but she ripped that sucker clean apart! So...thankfully they saw us pretty quick at the ER (45 mins...in and out, has to be a new world record!). Dr came in, said there is no dental damage and it should heal in 24-48 hrs. What the heck? Who'd have known? Only my kid can fall on the ground and TEACH me something! LOL Dr's orders were ice cream and popcicles...go figure. She was happy about that! She's got a fat lip, but other than that, she said it doesn't hurt much anymore. Poor thing!

So, that was our eventful day yesterday. We spent the day being lazy today, and decorated the tree when Justin got home from work. Poor pitiful looking thing! LOL I'll have to post a pic.

Nite!
