Murphy’s Law

I mentioned to the older two on Tuesday morning, “Hey, maybe we can go visit Santa tonight!  Yeah, Thumper has a couple of scratches, but it’ll be fine!”

Then while Rerun and Thumper were at the mall play area two hours later, someone took a spill.  And it left a mark.

Banged Up Thumper

The cut lip was from an earlier fall, and the scratch under the eye was from a scrap with Rerun.  But the new scrape over the eyebrow…. that was all Thumper, making a faceplant on one of those vinyl climbing toys at the play area, and it just took off some skin.

So, Santa pictures are on hold until someone can look a little less beat up.  And when I take them, I will not be opening my mouth until we get there.  Of course, with my luck, Thumper will trip in the parking lot.

    I have your answer: toddler fedora! All the cool toddlers can pull off a fedora tilted over one eye Frank Sinatra-style.
