Snow day and ER trip

[I tried posting this on my phone, with only one picture, but it won't work.  So I'll re-type it on the computer and hope it works!]

Mon & Tues were glorious days, with sunshine and warm temps!  We were outside nonstop both afternoons!

Then, Wednesday hit.  Wow.  What a crappy day.  We had a terrible blizzard here yesterday.  School was cancelled, and we girls stayed home all day.  The girls put together 19 puzzles, did watercolor pencil art, made breakfast (eggs) and helped me with lunch (quesadillas), read for an hour each, and played lots of Minecraft!  I cleaned up my bathroom and a little more in our bedroom.

We didn't make it to the cemetery for Sarah's 10th angelversary yesterday, which was really sad for me.  The weather was just awful, with tons of snow, and crazy swirling winds at 30-40mph.  It was not a day for bringing flowers or balloons to the cemetery!

Then, to top off the crappy day, Katie got hurt and needed to go to the ER.  Right before dinner, Katie and Megan accidentally crashed into each other while rounding the corner by the fridge.  Neither could see each other coming, and both were going full speed.  They both crashed to the floor, hard, and then the screaming began.  Megan got off easy, with a sore forehead and bruised arm.  Katie gashed the inside of her upper lip badly with her tooth.  There was blood everywhere!  And lots of screaming!  After about an hour, the bleeding slowed enough that we could take a close look at it, and it was a BAD gouge and very deep.  I called the nurse line and two urgent care places, they both said go to the ER b/c they don't stitch inside mouths.  So we went to the ER, just to wait and be told that they don't stitch inside mouths, either!  They said it will heal on its own, and it's best not to stitch it up b/c it will trap bacteria, food, etc inside the wound.  So Katie's deep gouge is still there today, healing.  She wanted to go to school b/c she's worried about getting behind.  I sent her with yogurt and applesauce for lunch today, and said we could make her more food when she gets home.

The rest of the week can only get better from here, right??!!
