Ouch.....

Anyone who knows me would have to agree how obsessed I am with taking pictures. Yes, I admit, I'm also "that" obsessed mom with the camera in the faces of my little girls to capture every second they do something I know I will want to remember in the future. Let's just say I never leave home without it. Today was no exception. Rui and I were helping Sofia with her 2nd grade T-Rex science project, and while I was packing up our materials, I see Sofia join her sister, who is briskly walking on the treadmill.(And why my seven year old is briskly walking is beyond me, but I know she'll be SUPER tired and ready for bed very soon!!) She takes one step onto the running mat and trips on Natalie's foot and down she goes!!! She slams her foot onto the belgium blocks we have underlying the fireplace and cuts the side of her foot. I couldn'tt get there fast enough and she was in my arms sobbing in tears. My poor sweetheart. Of course, out comes the HUGE first aid kit and I began the patch up work on her foot. The whole upper area above her little toes turned black and blue right away.

It's never a dull moment around here.

All better now......
