I Took the Kids for a Walk....

So today I thought I would venture out into the somewhat cold weather today before the extreme cold hits and let my kids ride their new toys from Christmas. Well let me tell you how that went...

I hate the cold, so I had to convince myself it would be worth it. Kids will have fun and mommy will be a hero. I got Cason buckled into his new trike. Adalie all geared up for her scooter ride and we were set! Just a quick trip around the neighborhood until Daddy got home....30 mins won't kill us. While trudging along, Cason sees rocks. This kid loves rocks. He kept leaning down to pick up any he could reach to put in his basket at the front of his trike. There is a handle that I can hold on to though and help him steer so it wasn't a big deal. I would just hang on while he bent down and the bike wouldn't fall over. Well Adalie was a little behind, so I turned around for a SECOND to let Adalie catch up, let go of the bike, and then I hear screaming. Cason had tipped over onto the sidewalk to pick up a rock and the whole trike went with him. Poor kid has a pretty messed up face. Adalie now has a sore back from her handle bars that were too low and a runny nose from the wind. And, side note, I was an idiot thinking I could "hold it" and should've gone to the bathroom before the walk because as I was freaking out about Cason falling over and trying to pick him up, I sneezed and peed my pants a little. Chalk awesome pregnancy bladder control up to that one. Here is me walking home.....I smell like pee, there is a bloody faced kid in my arms screaming, I am trying to push a scooter and trike as well, and Adalie is also wailing because her back hurts and she can't walk anymore because of it.

It all happened less than 15 mins out the door.

Here is the damage. I feel absolutely terrible....and it looks a million times worse than the camera will show. His face is swollen all over.At least he is still talking to me and smiling....he even said cheese for this last picture I made him take.
