Racoon eyes

Tell me, how do you explain to a dentist, that you have only ever met once before, that your daughter is really just a klutz and we in fact do not beat our children?
(sorry, that was a doozy of a run-on sentence)

Do you see her eye? She fell off her chair. I caught her by the foot. So I saved her head from crashing on the floor, but not from smacking the table.
This is a day after she took a tumble that gave her two black lines under her eyes. (think bad eyeliner)


Ugh.

I'm laughing, but only because Kegan looks like he's been in bar fights for the past month straight! LOL. Any adult who has children knows that at this age... they fall... a LOT.
Kegan has more bruises, in every shade of the rainbow, from head to toe. And usually there is AT LEAST 1 goose egg on his head, if not 2. He, too, is a klutz. (or maybe just overly boisterous!). I'm sure the dentist will understand. You said this one had 2 kids the boys age, right? Just tell him- he'll laugh at what happened.

By the way... Hannah looks TOTALLY cute in that picture... those cheeks! I just want to eat them up! :)

Hi, Valerie!
It's been a while, but today I got caught up on your blog.
I like your family nights! What a mom. What a family.
And you started school! How fun. It makes me want to homeschool again, but it's not our plan for this year. I'm a bit sad and a bit relieved about that fact.
How did Hannah's dentist appointment go? I saw your post after the fact...I hope you both were able to handle it. I would have been a wreck too. :(
