Raisin in the nose

Today was my sleep-in day. When I got up, the kids were hangin' with Jeff and had been eating snacks. Emmett told me he had a raisin up his nose. Jeff and I didn't see it though. But apparently he'd been telling the same thing to Jeff for awhile. When we sat down to breakfast it looked like his nose was a little bloody. Jeff looked up there some more and decided there really was a raisin in it. I still couldn't see it. We debated trying to use some tiny tweezers to get it out...but decided against that. Going to the emergency room seemed a little extravagant too. I googled "raisin in nose" and found a post that says not to stick anything else in there cause you'll just push objects up further. They said if your child is calm (luckily Emmett was) that you just plug the other side of their nose and blow in their mouth. So I tried that with him and it popped out and landed on the floor in the first breath! Now I want to re-enact it...it was so cool!

Please save the re-enactment for when we are there!! Though I may have to cover Sarah's eyes. Don't need her getting any ideas.
