black eye #1

Surprisingly, this is a first for me. Shane took the kids to the park on sunday so that i could clean the house and eliza came home with the precursor to this lovely shiner. Apparently, (and why does this always happen with the dads?) she fell off the top of the slide, toppled head first (cheek first) into the spiral part of the slide.

But, as kids tend to be, she's a tough little monkey.

She can tell everyone that she plays hockey, like a good Canadian.

Love the shiner. It's a beauty.

My son...was 6 months old and into everything. He's had more than a few.

Love reading your blog. Look forward to it everyday.

The first shiner...always a classic.

I worry that someone at the school will report 'suspicious bruises' to Social Services when these things happen. Eek.

Ummm, to my kids I mean. My previous post didn't quite come out right *sigh*

(I blame it on the cold medicine.)
