Whackamole!

The big inside joke at our house is that with all the trials
that seem to come our way... we often feel like we are
living in a giant game of Whackamole.
Every time things settle down and we poke our heads above water:
Whack!
 Case in point:
we were having a lovely, lovely evening with some friends.
They had just left when Reese came running into the house
dripping (and I mean dripping) blood from her hand.
 While we waited for the doctors to fix her up--
the whole story came out.
She was "role playing" Snow White from the movie Mirror Mirror- you know the part
where the queen disguised as an old lady offers her a slice of an apple?
Reese was living that part and sliced the apple in her hand
with a pocket knife
and voila-- she sliced up her wrist pretty good.
 The E.R. doc ended up giving her staples- not stitches.
Thankfully, it looked far worse than it really was.
(Reese told us she thought she had cut through the "vines"
-not a typo- in her hand).
 The good news-- shortest E.R. trip ever.  I think about 2 hours.
And Reese has the softest, cuddliest teddy bear as a reminder
to be safe!
And get this, we came home to Greer and Holland having done the dishes,
cleaned up the blood, put Kean to bed and made a gift box and get well card
for the little patient!
