It all started when Hayden was playing in the yard while I was weeding. He ran around the car to go see Teton. He fell face first on our asphalt driveway and scraped his nose really bad.
Then a few days later I was getting both kids out of the car. I got Hayden out and he came around to Brinley's side with me. He was standing by the passenger's door. When I closed Brinley's door Hayden started SCREAMING. I shut his hand in the door! I'm always so careful of this, but this time I guess I wasn't so careful. I saw his hand just as I let go of the door! Good thing I wasn't slamming the door shut, the damage was bad enough. He had an immediate purple mark across the top of two fingers. Then I turned his hand over and the fingers had huge cuts on them! I put everyone back in the car, we didn't really need to go to that store anyway, and we drove home. The whole way home Hayden cried. He would stop for a few minuets and then reach for some snacks and cry all over again. I felt so bad that I started to cry! I thought, "what if I broke his fingers!" Luckily I did not. I felt like Mom of the year right then!
The next day I sat Brinley up in the corner of the glider and walked around the corner into the kitchen. I wasn't gone 2 seconds when I heard Brinley screaming bloody murder, followed by Hayden screaming. This is what happens when she starts crying after he has done something and he doesn't know what to do. I walked into the living room to find Brinley on the floor with Hayden standing by her. She was scared, but fine. I think Hayden was trying to play with her or hold her and it obviously didn't work out too well.
The next day while walking out of a store Hayden was holding my hand. He jerked away and I lost my grip and he fell right onto the sidewalk head first. Another bonk and another Mom of the year moment!
Also this past week my Dad broke his pelvis when a 800lb haybale fell on him while he was on the farm. He had surgery on Thursday and is recovering well.

what a rough week. I hope this week goes better for you. I hope your dad is healing well and gets better soon.
That was a week of owies...it doesn't make you worst mom of the year though. Sorry to hear about your dad. I"m glad the surgery went well and I hope he has a quick recovery. Hope this week is better than last. =)
I remember thinking I was going to have to put my kids in their bike helmets all day long!! It happens!! Bubble wrap and duct tape might do the trick! He sure is getting big!! And Brinley is too cute!! How is the adjustment into 2 kids going? And I hope that your dad gets better soon!! How scary!
Poor guy and poor Mommy! I always feel terrible when I cause Carlee's injuries, but I think I feel worse than they do, so he's probably just fine! Don't worry about it (I know that's really easy to say, and so hard to do). I hope your Dad is okay, good luck with the healing process to all these next couple of weeks!
Sorry to hear about your dad and the kids. Don't forget that you are a great mom and "owies" are normal. Miss you guys!
So sad!!! When it rains it pours. Accidents are inevitable, but it still makes you feel so bad! Poor Hayden and poor you! Hope this week goes better and your dad recovers quickly!
I hate it when my kids get hurt. You always feel like it is your fault, but that is what happens when they are kids. Sorry it was such a hard week. Hope everything goes well with your dad.
