OUCH!

I told Lilly if she didn't start listening...

Teasing! Bad, bad joke.
I was in the ER the other afternoon with Gabe who has RSV when Andy sent me a picture message on my phone that said, "Best shiner yet." I was so upset I immediately called home and Lilly explained to me, through her sobs, that she'd been hurt playing with her mini trampoline. I can't stand trampolines but love the little 4ft x 4ft trampoline we keep for Lilly in our family room because she needs to blow off steam and it's perfect for that. It is not, however, perfect for sitting on at an incline or playing with outside of jumping...
Today I took the girls out for breakfast and grocery shopping. I seriously didn't understand why people were staring until I realized they were accusing me, with their eyes, of hurting my girls! Yes, Ella is injured too. Ella ran into a clothing rack at Macy's. She was trying to run from me and was turned around while running forward giving me the, 'Yep, I'm running from you' look when... BAMM.

After all the stares while we were out this morning I told the girls to give me the sad face so I could take a picture of their boo-boos.

Ella was cracking me up. She was doing this whimper and grimace that was hysterical. I tried to capture it. Here she is giving me her sad eyes...

Trying not to smile while whimpering.

And pointing at her boo-boos after Lilly did the same.

Pointing and giving me the sad face/sound. Ha.

Since everyone was staring at her in the grocery store, I explained to Lilly that they probably think I hit her and she giggled. Then I said, "Ok go along with this..." and continued to say aloud, "If you don't straighten up I'll pop you in the other eye." I am not making fun of abuse, I swear. Nor did I expect my charming daughter to play along with, "And then I'll punch you right back in the face!!" Nice.
