Misadventures

We don't tend to be a family full of excitement and misadventure, but we seem to have gotten our fair share in the past 24 hours. Tami was getting ready to head out the door to meet some friends when there was a shriek from Kaiyah in the back room. In the midst of the crying we heard Zeke say, "I'm so sorry Kaiyah." 2 seconds later we hear Zeke began to cry hysterically. Dan ran to the back room and quickly started yelling for Tami. Zeke had sprayed an air freshener first into Kaiyah's eyes and then into his own. We quickly rinsed their eyes out with water, and all seems to be okay.

Tami went on to her friend's home. This particular friend lives on the 12th floor of an apartment building. 5 ladies jumped in the elevator to head to lunch. 3 of the ladies are as pregnant as Tami. Some how, the elevator broke on the way down. They aren't sure how far they actually fell, as it all happened quickly, but they landed somewhere between the 2nd and 1st floor. After being stuck there for a few minutes, someone came to the rescue and helped them crawl out of the elevator. Everyone was fine, just some stiff necks and sore backs and a little shaky from the experience.

THEN, Kaiyah was jumping on the trampoline and fell off and hit her head on the radiator. There was a huge bump that immediately appeared on the back of her head. We kept her up from her nap for an hour and she appears to be okay. Hopefully the next 24 hours will be a little more peaceful.

I am thinking a nice long bath is in order! I think that would have been very scary Tami! How is Kaiyah feeling now?

That is Crazy!!! I'm sure you were shaken up by that elevator fall. So glad everyone is ok. Also, glad that Kaiyah is ok from her bump. I do hope you have lots of calm and "boring" days for a while. :)
