Orange boogers

So you see a title like, "Orange boogers" and you mights as well prepare yourself for something gross, right? Yeah, it's gross. We had our first experience with a child sticking things up their nose and K decided to be the first.

The kids were eating lunch and I ran upstairs to visit with Cliff for a minute when we hear from downstairs, "Mom??!!" It was T and his voice sounded like there was probably something going on down there. Cliff said he'd take care of it and went downstairs. Shortly after Cliff arrives I hear, "Um, honey...I think I'm gonna need your help with this." I come downstairs to find K crying, T with a strange look on his face and Cliff...um, he might have had a weird look on his face too. Anyhow, he informs me that K stuck Cheetos up her nose, one in each nostril.

I got the tweezers (which by the way will no longer be used on my eyebrows after this experience) and away we went, digging for Cheetos. We were trying to be very careful as we didn't want to push them back farther. As it was, we could only see the very tip of the Cheetos. So we got the one out of one nostril but every attempt on the other side was unsuccessful. We'd think we had it and would squeeze the tweezers together and it would just "crunch" the chip. It was such a disguisting noise to hear up your sweet little two year old daughter's nose.

We were getting ready to call the doctor and ask what we should do when we hear K sort of snort. She then starts crunching something in her mouth and yells, "I DID IT!" Yep, she snorted the Cheetos from her nose back down her throat and into her mouth. DISGUSTING!! The Cheeto was already in her tummy before we could get her to open her mouth. The nurse said that as long as she didn't seem to be having any "respiratory distress" then she should be fine. K got down from lunch, washed her hands and asked to take a nap so we decided that she must be just fine.

So this is the day in the Harrold household. Crazy, never boring and usually loud and messy. :0)
