Accidents and Sleepovers







So, we had a few accidents this week.  First, Matt was driving home on the vespa in a construction area and hit a ton of lose gravel and crashed.  He got cut up pretty good.  Then, I get the worst mom of the year award for this one.  I was cooking dinner and it started getting smokey, so I opening up the two front windows about 8 inches each, and went back to cooking dinner.  I didn't know that Mikelle climbed up on the couch and onto the windowsill, and then I heard very loud screaming.  She had FALLEN OUT OF THE WINDOW.  Thats one of those things you hear and think, that mom must not watch her kids. I promise I try to be a good mom.  Anyways, she got pretty scratched and cut up.  Luckily she fell in a bush and even more importantly, we are on the first floor.  She was pretty shaken up, and although she looks pretty bad, and people give me double takes everywhere, she is acting her normal happy self. 

On a happier note, the Knowles slept over at our house and Boston and Mikelle had an awesome time jumping on our spare beds we put out.  Then Rachel (my sister), and Kaylie (my cousin) slept over at our house while Matt was in Colorado. We had sort of a girls night (with Jonah) and had popcorn and watched the Sandlot and Cinderella.  We sure do get crazy.  They were both pretty fun sleepovers, with not a lot of sleep.  Also, I just wanted to add the video of Jonah and the picture of Mikelle that I think are pretty cute, they don't really have to do with anything, but I have to show off my kids.

I love the little bath video. Jonah looks like he's having a blast. You're not a bad mom, things like that happen to all of us. Kate took a good bite out of those dish detergent gell balls a couple months ago. I called poison control and she was fine, but I felt horrible too. Cooking dinner is one of the harderst times though. Good-luck with your move.

Hurray for a cute blog! It's true, Matt is no good at keeping up with his blog. So sad about Kell. That is so scary. I'm so glad that the guys found a place for you this weekend, but I'm sad for you guys to leave....with the way Sam is talking we will be there with you sooner than later. :)

By the way! I love the video of Boston and Kell jumping. Thanks so much for putting up with us. You are the best!

that is such a fun week! At least you are on the first floor so it wasn't worse. We all have our "stupid mom moments". Jackson is way into jumping right now too.

I'm glad Mikelle is OK, but that kind of stuff can be hard om moms. We had too many close calls with eight kids to remember. Thank goodness!

Nobody makes pain look sadder than Matt, although Mikelle is giving it a good shot. I'm glad Matt's also OK.
