Saturday adventures

Saturday was one of "those" days. We started off the day doing a service project. The boys had a lot of fun and I hope it is planting the seeds of service in them. We got home, showered and decided to head to Kohl's for some desperately needed clothes for Jade. Of course none of the carts had child seat belts on them that worked so Jaxson was constantly crawling out of his seat. While looking at some pants for Jade, we turned around just in time to see Jaxson take his final step out of the cart onto the floor only to lose his balance and fall backwards. Unfortunately, the back of his head landed on the edge of a rack. Jade picked him up and gave him a hug and I noticed the blood pouring out of the back of his head. He had split his head open and blood was pouring out fast. He started drawing a crowd because his cries could be heard in the next town over, and by this point his face and my arms were covered in blood. We looked tragic. Someone notified management and we were quickly whisked away to a dark office where they offered us some paper towels and ice packs. Once the bleeding was under control, we were presented with all the store forms they wanted us to sign. We came home and shaved the hair away from the cut. Luckily for us, we have a friend who is a doctor, and he gave us some of the bonding agent they use in the hospital so we "glued" the cut after much resistance from Jaxson. Oh, the best part of our whole "incident"? I took Jaxson to the car while Jade paid for the clothes. We pulled into our driveway and Jade says, "Oh, I hope I remembered to grab your purse out of the shopping cart". Guess what???? He didn't. I had to call Kohl's and ask them to go and search the carts while we drove back. The purse was recovered and we finally came home to just stay in the safety of our own home.
