down

Elliott is working on mastering walking down our stairs. It's a little stressful because he does insist on walking. With that said, it's not as stressful as just hanging out with him these days. He's crazy or clumsy or maybe it's just that he's a boy. It's just that his head takes a beating and yesterday was the worst ever. The two kidlets were in the garden playing in the dirt when thump Elliott went head first into the house's brick siding. BLOOD. So much so, that Kate was screaming louder than Elliott. And anyone who knows me knows I'm not all that awesome in the face of injuries either. But I did kind of keep my cool. His eye was filled with blood, his face; it was tough to tell what exactly had been cut. Luckily it was only his forehead and after a clean up and bandage application we were off to MyGym. The only thing is, he banged his head several times while there and one of those times was totally my fault. My nerves were so raw by the end of our playtime that we had to stop by at the grocery store to buy a box of cookies that I self medicated with upon arrival home. It was that or alcohol and it was only 1:15. Good news though, we had such a trying morning that all three of us passed out in the afternoon. That's the first time in probably over a year that we have all managed to sleep at the same time during the day. As a result the kids were so sweet and friendly last night; we hardly recognized  Kate.

Back to Mr. Stairs - here he is...

We love how much Elliott is in love with all the Halloween decorations in the house. He literally gets that excited every time he sees them.

Have a great end of week. CAKE
