An "event" took place a couple weeks ago in our kitchen, and I knew I had to capture it on camera and then blog about it.
One afternoon I was upstairs having a "lively discussion" with Hannah about something. I didn't want her sisters listening in on our talk (they were just waiting to hear what their sister's punishment would be...) so I asked them to go downstairs and color/draw until I was finished dealing with the situation upstairs. Just a few short seconds later, I heard a gigantic CRASH from the kitchen. I raced downstairs and this is what I saw.
All of the supports holding up the shelves gave way, and everything came tumbling out onto Gracie who was getting coloring books off the bottom shelf. Thankfully, she wasn't seriously hurt, but, oh my goodness, it could've been so much worse! There were broken bottles all around her bare feet. One canned good knocked her on the head on it's way down, but other than that, she was ok. Gracie was crying a little bit, but mostly because it just scared her so much. I told her not to move, as I picked her up and carried her away from all the shattered glass. Upon placing her in a safer spot, I noticed her jeans were soaking wet. A large broken bottle of red wine vinegar had poured all over her. Then I noticed the "sparkles." Looking closer, I realized there were super tiny shards of glass stuck to her wet jeans. I didn't even know where to begin. I needed to get these wet, glass-covered pants off of her without cutting her legs and bare feet. I tried to stay calm, but had a hard time doing so.To make a long story short(er), I did get her pants off okay, but found a few little pieces of glass sticking out of her toes. She didn't even know they were there! So after a very thorough search of her little body, I got her bathed and dressed, and then proceeded to clean up this enormous mess. Fortunately my husband came home soon after to help me. I just kept thanking God over and over again for protecting her. She could've had some serious cuts, or even broken bones from heavy cans and bottles landing on her feet.
I just thought it was such a sight, I had to show it on my blog. Just for clarification, Gracie is absolutely fine...I think she dealt with it better than her mom did! It sure made for an eventful afternoon! Come to think of it, I don't think Hannah ever received her "sentencing!"

Yeah, what you don't realize is Hannah and Gracie had that all worked out. You know, so you would forget about the punishment!
OK, seriously, I'm glad Gracie was alright. And somehow in all the commotion, I imagine Hannah learned a thing or two. *grin*
Now you have a reason to re-orginize your pantry!! I'm glad Grace is ok even though maybe next time don't have your children do the orginization of the kitchen things. Maybe they can do the toilet paper and cotton balls or something a little safer!! :)
That must have been scary.
Once my boys were playing in the bottom toy drawer of their dresser when it toppled over on them. I was so scared and my four year old got quite the bruise. I was super scared but so thankful they were okay.
How did I miss this post??? Oh my goodness!! Glad to hear Gracie wasn't severely hurt...from the looks of the picture it could have been SO much worse!
