Ouch!

Yup, that word best describes our day.  OUCH!  I decided to skip the gym this morning because: 1) Henry was awake at 5am, 2) He had his first music class today and needed an early nap (refer to #1), and 3) I was so incredibly, insanely sore from a double whammy boot camp-spin class on Monday and Tuesday.  I wanted to be "good" and get some exercise in so I threw the kids in the stroller and took the dog for a walk.  We were about 1/4 through our walk when Delia asked to hop out and run.  Of course I said yes because she was wearing her running shoes and we were on a relatively quiet street.  The girl made it maybe 3 strides when she caught her toe in a crack in the sidewalk and DOWN. SHE. WENT.  Hard.  Bless her heart, she tried to catch herself and almost did it.  She did a psedo-handstand before her arms gave out and she crashed on her face.  Looking back, it might have been better if she'd just landed on her knees, but at least her face/mouth didn't take the entire force of impact.  She has a pretty nasty case of road rash but no pain.  It looks ugly but hopefully she'll heal quickly.  She refused to go to the bus stop this afternoon because she didn't want anyone to see her face :(  She was running around and happy tonight, so that's a good sign.


All smiles in spite of some scrapes and bumps today!
