What Morgan did last night

Do you want to hear a funny story? Last night Haylie and Morgan decided to shovel the snow off our driveway. Justin was home so I decided to run downstairs and get some wrapping done. After a few minutes I hear Haylie come running in and tell Justin that Morgan slipped. Justin being the overly concerned parent that he is tells Haylie to go outside and tell Morgan to get up. The obvious solution when you slip, right? I'm overhearing from the basement so I did not catch what is said next but I hear Justin get up and go to the garage. Knowing him like I do he figures that Morgan fell down and is OK but is wanting some attention, she just wants him to come help her up. He is also thinking hes warm, he does not want to put on his shoes, so he will check out the situation from the garage and if shes not bleeding or screaming in agony he will tell her (from the garage) that shes OK and to get up. That way he avoids having to go outside. From the basement I hear him come back inside and he yells for me to come up. I jump up thinking shes hurt, normally Justin would just deal with it unless something was wrong. Is it her arm, her leg, her skull, broken bones, stitches? I come out of the basement and Justin says that he has to show me something. By his tone I know that its not serious, but it is worth seeing. I ask him if I should grab my camera and he say "its definitely some thing to post." Anyway we go outside and I cant see Morgan anywhere, Haylie is standing at the end of the Driveway (we have a very long driveway and on one side is a pretty steep hill). We walk up the where Haylie is standing and this is what I see.... Morgan somehow (I am positive goofing off was involved) Slipped of the Drive way and slid down the hillside and could not climb back up.

So of course I decided to document the moment and even in her distress she did not hesitate to pose and make a face for the picture.

Justin has to climb part way down the hill, grab her arm and pull her up.

She was not hurt in anyway so a post-rescue photo was taken. Justin is a hero!

Then shes comes into the house and Justin notices that her hair is full of stickers. I had already gone back to wrapping and heard Justin call me back up stairs. What now? was my first thought. I go up stairs and see him trying to pull these stickers out of her hair. He needed my professional mom opinion, Is there an easier way to get these out? Butter? Should she wash her hair? I decided that the best thing to do was just get them out so they would not get more tangled.
After a few painful minutes this is what we pulled out. A hand full of stickers with equal amounts of hair. Call me a bad mom but I though the whole ordeal was hilarious and had to share.

I'm surprised the fat man could climb down and not get stuck himself.
