Last Saturday we were having a great day. Dan made us a delicious breakfast and the kids were being good all morning. Everyone was helping to pick up and clean and we had a quick shopping day ahead of us. Our goal of the day was to buy the kids their winter coats and snow pants. I had already breezed through Osh Gosh and Target and didn't really see anything that I wanted. Osh Gosh was too high priced even at the Outlet Mall and Target's quality didn't seem very good. If we spend a fortune on these items I better be able to re-sell them or hand them down I figured. So we decided to head to Kohl's. Lucky for us (okay, really for me!) Kohl's was having a sale and Kohl's cash. Dan and Junior found a jacket for him and Katelynn and I found a great set for her. They were both on sale too. I also found a few Christmas decorations and Dan found a few items for himself. Katelynn even brought her purse along and bought herself a book with her own money. When the kids received their flu shots this year the clinic gave them each a certificate for a free scoop of ice cream. We hadn't cashed them in yet, so I told them if they were good we were close enough to the ice cream place that we would stop after shopping. They were both well behaved in the store so off to get ice cream we went. The ice cream store doubles as a coffee shop as well. We got in and me and the kids started looking at the different flavors and Dan went over to the coffee side. Katelynn found a coloring contest and sat down to start coloring her page. I was standing and ordering the ice cream. Junior was behind me and was walking towards Katelynn. The next thing I hear is a stumble and "CRACK". Junior had tripped on his own little feet and smacked his little nose right into the wrought iron chair that Katelynn was sitting in. Tears and crying from Junior. One worried Mama. The staff at the ice cream store were great and brought me a towel with some ice in it. I knew right away that his nose was probably broken. Katelynn then of course was screaming because I said we had to leave and get Junior home to check out his nose. We took the ice cream and out the door we went. Junior is really a tough little boy. He would barely let us get near his nose for the next couple of days and was clearly upset if anything bumped it. We kept up with Tylenol for the pain and any on-coming head aches. What a little trooper he is. A week later he is fine and the nose is back to the size that it should be. My poor little man.
