Never a Dull Moment

So, it has just been me and the girls this weekend. Dave left Friday afternoon to drive up to New Jersey for a review course for his board exam that is coming up at the end of the month. We were going about our usual lunch routine, I made the girls tortellini, chicken and peas. I was getting Madison's stuff cleaned up and waiting for Hailey to finish eating. While I was rinsing Madi's high chair tray off, Hailey said to me "Mommy, nose," and was rubbing at her nose. Both of the girls have been sick and had really snotty noses this weekend. I said to her "do you need to blow your nose?" She replied "yes." I grabbed a tissue and went over to her. As I squatted down to put the tissue to her nose I realized that there was a pea in her nose. I said "Hailey, you shouldn't put peas in your nose!" She said "yes Mommy." So I grabbed the pea and pulled it out. Laughing to myself as I went to throw it away. I texted Dave and told him that a crisis had been adverted, Hailey put a pea in her nose, but had just barely stuck it in and I was able to get out! By this point Hailey has finished lunch, I grab a wipe and go over to clean her up. As I am wiping her hands I think to myself, maybe I should make sure she doesn't have another pea farther up in her nose. As you can all probably guess, she indeed did, have a pea shoved rather far up in her nose! I could just barely see the bottom of it! I sent Dave a text back and said, just found another one up a lot higher! I am thinking to myself, I really need to get this pea out, I really don't want to have to go to the ER to have it done. It was up way too high for me to reach with my fingers or a pair of tweezers, Dave suggested that she blow her nose, but with her nose being so snotty I didn't know if she could blow hard enough, and even worse I didn't want her to sniff it up any farther. Then I remembered that Dave had surgical tweezers in a bag that had a long skinny nose to them. By this point Dave had called me to see if I had got it out yet. I told him what I was about to attempt, put the phone down, told Hailey that she had to hold really still and removed the pea!! Never a dull moment around here!!

Here is Hailey telling the story herself!!
