Hiding comfortably behind the piano in the Primary room again today, I felt suddenly grateful to have a husband who can play the piano. I had taken it for granted that for two weeks in a row we had played a bit of musical chairs while he covered for me so I could sneak into the 11:00 meeting for the Sacrament. Having two unfortunate Saturday nights in a row left me scrambling, by myself, to get to our 9:00 one. Last Saturday evening, one child fell and severely cut his lip requiring 3 stitches. Yesterday, the other child, apparently feeling a little left out, fell and cut a gaping hole in the corner of her mouth. Now with an uncanny resemblance to the Joker, she has two stitches in place and a slightly extended smile. Naturally both nights were a little long for the kids and naturally I let them sleep in the next morning, thus our tardiness to church. And so, after tagging my husband and sliding back into my place on the piano bench, I realized how lucky I was.

Oh, Sherrie! Trevor told me about the second incident. I'm soooo sorry. Those poor little babes and their poor little mommy. I hope you guys are doing okay. My kiddos are sick, but when they recover we want to take your kids for a couple of hours and let you get a break. Let me know if you need anything. Bless their little hearts!
That's so sad! Do you have pictures of the kid's stitches?
i want to see pictures of your kids. . . not of the joker! I love late night visits to the emergency room. oh the fun joys of being a mom. . . later it becomes humorous.
Well at least they look like they're smiling!
Aimee...I gave you the Joker picture, that was one of them. For the other child, picture a duck. His top lip was so swollen it looked like a beak!
