4th of July { glitch }

So after the 4th of July parade, I in all my wisdom-ocity talked my husband into going into Idaho Falls to hit the Aeropostale sale {$5.00 tee shirts ARE you kidding?!} to pick up some back to school clothes for Savannah. {AND she had her own money *bOnUs*}

Well, we needed to have her try things on, and Oliva a little past her nap got a little restless {understandable}. So I put her into the dressing room with Savannah. Well as sometimes happens, a little thumb was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and Olivia got smashed in the hinges. She started to cry {of course} and Chris scooped her up and off he went to the bathroom to console her, and calm her down while we finished up.

The whole time, I am thinking a little pinched finger, she will calm down and we will continue on. Next thing I know as I help Savannah choose her last items Chris comes hauling into the store and announces that it IS TIME TO GO. Olivia is still crying. Strange, I think.

Well what happened as we looked at it closer, is her little finger popped like a grape! It split it right open. Upon inspection there was even blood spatter on the door. {horrible!} Those are some serious hinges in their doors!

The first thing Liv asked for was a good doctor. Second was a cool doctor, and third was pink stitches. Right before going into the building she started crying again, because she was sure they were going to have to cut it off. After calming her down we took her in. {should have been in a panic as they triaged the next person that came in to go first because she was scared.....for stitches}.

Nearly 3 hours later....

5 stitches.
1 little thumb with a broken bone {split almost exactly in two length wise}
1 pink wrap
1 exhausted and hungry family
{she insisted on ice cream - we didn't argue}






She only needed a little tylenol and off she went. Kids are amazing! Stitches come out on the 14th.
