Springing Ahead

Friday night, we had quite the scare when Parker locked Jackson, himself, and me in the dressing room with Lily on the other side. I had just installed the lock on the outside so Lily would stop going into the drawers and pulling all of the clothes out. There was nothing in there to help us get out.
I panicked.
I tried to break down the door.
I am not that strong.
I tried with all of my might to break the door handle...
And I did!

So, out we came and I decided to put the kids in bed.

They were playing in Lily's room, with the door shut when I realized I had forgotten the pajamas in the craziness that had just ensued.

I ran downstairs and Lily must have escaped the confines of her room.
Which ordinarily is no big deal.
Not this time.
She fell down the stairs.
15 of them.

I got all of the kids in the car, dropped my boys with Jill, and was at the hospital within 20 minutes of her falling.

She was shaking and crying.
And she seemed so pale.
{I was an absolute mess, in case you were wondering}
She had no bumps or marks.
She was walking and talking.

The ER was packed full but they got us in relatively quick.
And all was fine with my little gal!



We spent Saturday with friends at our house and then the Brave Mama took all three kids to the outlets for some running around and penny-throwing-in-fountain fun.

Today, we are having a day at home {for the most part} and getting ready for our week!

And I leave you with a picture of Little Miss after last night's bath.
I think her hair is starting to look like Don Kings here!!

Happy Spring Forward Day to all of you that don't live in Arizona! ;-)
