Ending the summer with a BANG!

Yes the picture is as sad as the story! The picture doesn't really do it justice but she wouldn't let me take a more detailed one. Kyra ended her summer with a major bike crash. We were on a walk with a bunch of neighbors and as we came around the corner I looked ahead and saw Kyra sitting by her bike with her hand over her mouth-Oh GREAT what was under (or not under her hand?) So I ran up to her and she was bleeding everywhere and there was a nice puddle of blood on the pavement as well. She was pretty banged up and bleeding all over so I put her in my bike trailer with Bree and my neighbor took Kyra's bike on top of her stroller and I ran home to assess the damage. Long story short my brother in law who is a dentist said that there really isn't anything to do at this age because her teeth will be falling out soon anyway and the cut is on the inside of her mouth so it will heal on its own. She had a loose tooth on the bottom before the accident but it was helped out last night by the fall and it looks like we will see much more of the tooth fairy in the next little bit. This picture was taken today-24 hours after it happened-and it looks lots better than it did yesterday. She had a HUGE fat lip yesterday and today it is down quite a bit. She is finally able to eat and drink tonight so that is good too. So total damage; cut up chin, cut up under her nose, swollen lip, cut lip and gums, black and blue gums, slightly missplaced uppper teeth, cut elbow and two cut knees. Not the most ideal way to start first grade in 2 days but what do you do?

We did salvage a little fun in between Kyra's injury and Bree's ear infection.......Kyra had REALLY been looking forward to the last summer swim at Papa Steve's and even with her injury she didn't want to miss out so she attempted to swim. She mostly just stood in the water and looked really sad but at least she tried. We finished off the swim with a BBQ-some of our favorite summer activites at Grandma Camme's!

Crew and Bree playing

Saturday Adrie went to her primary water party-Ky decided she wasn't up to it and then saturday night we went over to feed the ducks. The girls LOVE this and we hadn't done it all summer so it was a fun little activity for the evening.

Bree was REALLY excited about the ducks and she kept trying to dive out of my arms to reach them.AdrieKyra tryed to smile for the picture-poor thing!!
