Brooklynn and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day

The day started off really good. Brooklynn was excited about Dads and Donuts and looking forward to getting her hair cut after school. However, just before school ended, I got a phone call that she had tripped at recess and had a pretty good bump on her head. I wasn't planning on going down because it wasn't my day to drive, but it was a nice day and I knew my friend was walking the kids home and thought Brooklynn might not be in any condition to walk home. When I got there she was sitting on the couch with her teacher and an ice pack. When she pulled it away, I gasped and was shocked at how HUGE it was! Brooklynn was pretty brave and didn't even start crying until I got there and even then it was only a whimper. I wish the pictures I took could do it justice because it was much worse than the pictures. The first one was taken after a good half hour-45 minutes of ice. As the week has progressed, the swelling has sort of spread out giving her a nice Frankenstein forehead and two black eyes. This picture really is washed out. I took about 20 to try and capture it but couldn't. Stupid camera! She still looks pretty beat up. This is day 4.Poor girl. Like I mentioned before, she was supposed to get her hair cut after school. I called and canceled because I didn't think she'd be in any mood to have her hair cut. However, after we iced her head she really wanted to go get it cut. So I called back and asked if we could come over. Brooklynn has really liked her new hair cut and so have I. NO MORE TANGLES!!! Oh, and I was on the fence about cutting bangs but when I walked into school and saw her bump, I immediately decided bangs were a must!

Wow that is a goose egg. I hope she is feeling better. I love the hair cut so cute. This morning I was thinking about when we lived just across the lawn from each other and how fun that was. Miss being that close of distance away. Have fun with those chicks- They are really cute.
