Exhibit A: Sports Training Arena
I came home to this new addition to my home decor a couple weeks back. Nate and the boys had screwed some kind of hangy-thing from my ceiling, attached a ball to the end of it, taped off a home plate and were working on their baseball swings.
My wood floors have become an indoor basketball court, my front door doubles as throwing/target practice and my furniture is moved around daily to accommodate the latest soccer game. This last Monday a prayer was answered and Nate bought an outdoor basketball hoop for the kids to take their shots on, allowing my crown molding a break.
Exhibit B: Accident City
How many times can one little boy split open his eye in three weeks? Not once, not twice, but three times! (And this doesn't count the two other prior incidents where he split open other parts of his face, giving him a grand total of five accidents in a year and a half.) Need I also remind myself that Mac had staples in his head not so long ago?
Exhibit C: No Exceptions for Little Girls
Even Jilli gets her fair share of training and accidents around here.
Bring it, new phase of life, I'm ready for ya.

:-) Don't forget to add Neosporin to that new diaper bag! I bet you'll be like one of those moms in the commercial that hears a kid cry and spins the clip around her finger like a pistol before applying it to the ever so calm child.

I asked Jaxton at church what he did to his eye and he said he'd cut it "3 TIMES!" And told me about each one. I asked if he'd cried and he said "No" like that was the silliest question ever. What an awesome little kid.
such a clever-clan you all are! love the baseball idea!
Ha ha ha. I love your tone as you explain about the addition to your home decor. I have a feeling Nick will pull something like this on me someday.
As for the bruises and such, I'll know who to ask when I'm at that stage! Wowza.
