Never a Dull Moment

Never a dull moment at the Brewer household. On Monday, we were enjoying a relaxing afternoon, the kids were playing outside and we were sitting on some lawn chairs before we headed out to meet some friends for dinner. I'm practically dozing when I happened to look up at the girls on the swings. Mikaela gets off and tries to run in front of Alethea's swing. Notice I said tries to. She didn't quite make it. Next thing I know she's on the ground. I go running to her thinking she just got kicked in the head. She did get hit in the head, but not by Alethea's feet. As I'm looking at Mikaela, I notice that Alethea is screaming. Dave starts to look at her. We then begin to realize that she got the brunt of the collision. It was her head that hit Mikaela's head, not her feet. She ended up with a fat lip and loose tooth. Mikaela did have quite a headache, but nothing that required a trip to the doctor. We called the girls dentist, and they told us we should come in just to be sure. So, there goes our relaxing afteroon. We have 20 minutes to get all four kids in the car to a place that takes 30 minutes. Did I mention Sarah was still napping. At the dentist they took an X-ray and everything looked fine. She was such a trooper. If it had to happen to anyone, I'm glad it was her. She was scared and sore, but she was so brave, and has not complained one bit. I wonder what's next.
