Mother's Day so far... and it's only 9am

Little Owie... Lots of blood..., originally uploaded by Joyfulmommy.

My husband woke me up this morning as he arrived home to inform me that our front door was WIDE open and for some reason HIS shoes were outside on the porch. The first words out of my mouth: "Are all the kids accounted for and are they OK?" He tells me that yes, everyone is ok... Apparently Joshua (our 3yr. old) woke up early by himself and wanted to watch Daddy come home on the motorcycle and so he let himself out while wearing Daddy's shoes. Praise the Lord he didn't wander off or worse. Mike put him back to bed and I tried to get another hour in of sleep...

Fast forward an hour and a few minutes...

I'm awoken by high pitched screaming, I jump up out of bed and quietly as possible get out of our bedroom trying not to wake Mike and then after I close the bedroom door I am greeted with Joshua bleeding profusely from his head. His forehead is covered in blood, there's blood streaming down into his eye and mouth, dripping on the floor and his hand/clothes have blood.

THIS is where I say "THANK YOU MOM for warning me years ago that head wounds (even super small ones) will bleed like crazy." I was totally calm and took him to the kitchen to clean it up and see how bad it was. The wound is tiny, he threw his Hot Wheel airplane into the air and the pointed part hit his forehead. There was actual "blood spatter" on him... little drops on his arm/face.

Anyhoo... everyone is ok, breakfast is done and we are now getting ready to finish cleaning up for our Mother's Day BBQ. :o)
