Picture This

Lately it seems Taya has been bitten by the clumsy bug.

Picture this: Matt and Taya riding bikes on the street outside our house. Taya was on her new 12' bike Santa brought her and Matt on Ethan's 20' bike. Matt was on the outside near the cars and Taya was on the creek side. This should have been a good idea. Not so much. Taya started to peddle. With every turn of the peddle she inched her way closer to the creek/ditch. Ya see, while peddling she was inadvertently turning the handle bars. It was like slow motion. Matt was up near her and I was on the front porch. There was laughter and smiles...for a brief moment. Taya headed straight for the mailbox(which is positioned in the ditch). The bike hit the mailbox head on, Taya flipped over the top of the handle bars and ended up head first in the ditch. It was quiet. We panicked...only for 2 seconds. After de-tangling herself from the wreckage, she poppep up and said laughing "I ok!" This was followed by the rest of us laughing hysterically and almost peeing my pants. Hilarious.

Picture this: Same day. This time in the back yard. Ethan was riding his bike. Corbin was playing with balls and Taya was playing T-ball. She had the bat. A real, metal bat. She swung a few times and missed. Then she swung with all her might, missed the ball, the bat flew around, hit her in the side of her head and she hit the ground. Again, we freaked. After 2 seconds, she again popped and said "Aw, I ok!", followed by more laughter.

Picture this: Same day. Literally, less than 3 minutes after the last accident or ac-i-cent as Taya calls it. She was still playing T-ball. She threw the bat down and began to run. As she took her first step, she tripped over the infamous bat, got it tangled between her feet and fell to the ground. At this point, I looked at Matt and said we need to go in. Again, laughing erupted. She was fine. Next day we were outside playing again and she began to limp. She would move her leg and scream. Apparently, one(or just maybe even all) events from the previous day sprained or pulled her thigh muscle.

I am glad to announce, 3 days later all is well and the bug seems to have moved on to some other unfortunate little gem.
