WHY!!!!!!
This past Saturday, we were having a lazy day, after a very busy week. The boys were playing, I was reading a book, just enjoying our day. I had taken Grayson in his room to change him when Riley comes running in. " Mom, Grant stuck a Lego up his nose and he can't get it out!" I ran out to see it and when I first looked up his nose could not see anything. "It's up there;" Riley says. And boy, was it. All the way up there. I started to freak out a little bit, wondering how to get it out. I told him to blow his nose, but that didn't work. I called Sis. Jan Gallacci, to see what to do. She told me to make him sneeze, and if that didn't work to take him to the doctor. I tried to make him sneeze, but he wouldn't do it. Thankfully, the clinic here in Mattawa was open, so after scrambling around trying to find a babysitter for Riley and Grayson, we headed up there. When I signed him in, the receptionist asked what we were there for, and I told her. Her eyes about bugged out of her head. The doctor came in and looked up in Grants nose, stepped back and said,"Yep, It's up there alright." We had to force Grant to lie down and then had to pin him to the table to get him to hold still. He screamed the whole time, but thankfully the doctor was able to get the Lego out. It was close there for a minute. He told me he would try one more time and if he didn't get it out, he would have to send us to the hospital, so they could sedate him. Can you imagine the bill for that? I asked him several times , "WHY would you put a Lego up your nose?" "I don't know," was always the answer. After reading him the riot act on not putting things in your nose( or ears) several times on Saturday, Sunday morning he brought me a whole handful of little Legos and told me that they would all fit in his nose and I needed to take them away from him. All I could do then was laugh.

Yes, you have boys! I seem to remember sitting in church, and finding out that Rick had put a bean up his nose. I can't remember how we got it out. He is fine now. It didn't happen again--to my knowledge anyway. Grant and the others have probably learned their lesson. We love you guys and are anxious to see you.
I know that wasn't very funny when it was happening, but I just read it out loud to Scott, and we laughed all the way through your story. So funny, and we're so glad he's okay too.
