Coulda been a great story...

...but it's not, really. Last week on Kim's walk home from school she and Andrea were minding their own business on a rather windy day. Kim got something in her eye, the left one, and closed it for a second (while continuing to walk) and BAM...right into the back of a truck...yes a parked truck on the corner of our street! This is a few hours after she had iced it and stopped crying!
This is Day 3 when the swelling settled in and the black eye began to form. In order for her to see you she had to tip her head up so she could see through the slit in her swollen eye!
Day 10 was Halloween and we joked that she should have been a boxer to trick-or-treat. Instead we put a little purple eyeshadow on the non-injured eye to help them both match better. Her right cheek was still swollen and sensitive as was the quarter sized knot still there above her right eyebrow. Oh well...coulda been a great story!

  1. Kim and Noah could be twins. He tripped and hit his forehead on the leg of a chair on the way down. He still has two black eyes.
