Stitches all around

TWO members of our family have been sporting stitches over the past couple weeks.

{Randy}
The story is he was in a hotel room in San Fran, got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, got a little disoriented, ran into a picture on the wall, glass broke and took a chunk out of his nose. He didn't think it was that bad so he went back to bed and woke up to what looked like a crime scene. Blood everywhere! So he had to take a cab to the hospital, get stitched up, and then head back to the hotel for work meetings all day. I could not stop laughing every time someone asked him what he did and he had to be honest since I was standing right there and would tell on him if he tried to make up a better story!

Poor little bug. Last week me and Jack were both really sick (tonsilitis for me, flu for him). Randy was out of town (weird?) so I was at my parents house trying to get sympathy for being sick. My dad said he would take care of Halle while me and Jack slept all day. This was already after he had been up all night cleaning Jack's puke. When I was growing up, my dad was the puke cleaner. My mom can't hack it. It's the same for me now too. Randy is designated puke cleaner...I can handle anything else. So me and Jack were asleep in the basement and my dad came down to tell me I would have to take Halle to the ER cause she just fell and cut her eye open, right on her eyebrow. My dad stayed with Jack and me and Katie took Hal to the hospital. My mom met us there (what would I do without family?). I had a plastics guy do the stitches...even though the ER doc made me feel dumb for asking for a plastic surgeon. But I didn't care...she's a girl and it was on her face so sorry dude. She fought as hard as she could until they gave her versaid and she was out for the count. It was pretty funny to see my one year old acting drunk off her butt! She ended up with 4 stitches on the first layer, 10 stitches on the second layer, a pretty sweet black eye, and all the popsicles she wanted for the rest of the day. Needless to say we were all happy to go to bed that night and start a new day!
{ps} thank you mom and dad for taking such good care of us

{pss} I think if anyone asks where Halle gets her clumsyness from I can refer them to the first story on this post

Wow what a crazy week for your family! Poor Halle, at least you had your family to help you out.

I am so sorry you had an injury wave at your house! Halle is such a sweet girl! It was fun the other day, watching Jack and Bailey act grown up kind of... hangin' out on the couch with their blankets watching TV, getting drinks of water from the fridge all by themselves! Your kids are adorable and so are you!

Like father like daughter huh. That's a funny story about Randy but sad about Halle, she's too sweet. To be honest, I thought the same thing about Randy. LOL- he forgot which way to turn for the bathroom. He must have really been out of it. Thanks for sharing, that made me laugh.

Watch out for the Gublers ~it sounds like hotels will start turning you guys away. First Jack and the broken tv and now this!! ;) LOL!! I am so sorry to hear that little Halle. So sad! You do have a nice family!! SO great to be able to count on them.

I know how Randy and Halle really got those stitches but I won't tell child services or the cops but you need to keep that temper under control.
