"Grace! Don't pick your nose while inside a moving car!" -That was the quote of the week. Sometimes, I find myself being such a mom.

We took the dogs to the kennel, packed up the car and headed down to Springfield, Mo for the holiday. We could not have asked for better weather. It was in the 70's! We came baring homemade turtle cheesecake, pecan brie, olive tapenade and smiles. It was so nice to see everyone and watch Grace run around with her cousins who are 2 and 5. She was having crazy, screaming, giggling fun, until she figured out how to open the screen door and fell right on her noggin. I heard a scream and I jumped. I was maybe 5 feet away at the time, but by the time I got to my feet, her daddy had her and blood was pouring down her face. P was on it. He stayed calm, applied pressure and got directions to the pediatric urgent care. Some more screaming, some wound cleaning, and surgical glue.. and Grace was all fixed up. One of the nurses even gave her presents. -FYI, if you ever split your head open in Springfield, you may get a piggy bank, a coloring book, stickers and crayons as a reward. ;) -In no time we were headed back to have dinner, and Grace learned to say "boo-boo".
