Dyeing Easter Eggs

We had a great time dyeing eggs this year! The boys loved it! Since Leo is off school on Good Friday, we had lots of time. The boys did their eggs, and I did some grown up eggs using men's silk ties....I learned this technique on some Internet posting I saw somewhere. I bought the ties at the Goodwill store for $1 or so apiece.

Leo plays goalie

Leo has enjoyed his first experience on a soccer team. At a recent game, he got to play goalie. He gets in his stance even when the ball is nowhere near the goal.

A visit from Gran and Grandpa

We had a visit from Gran and Grandpa the weekend before Easter. Here is a picture of the boys getting a story from Gran.

Stitches!

One Sunday morning recently, Todd had gone running. It was just the boys and myself at the house. I was standing at the laptop (shock!), and the boys were chasing...when I heard the loudest, scariest sound of head striking brick. Henry had fallen and busted his head!

I sent Leo next door to see if our neighbor is home b/c she is a surgical nurse...but of course, she was gone. So I took some quick pictures to get some advice from friends. I thought it probably needed stitches, but I wanted to be sure I wasn't overreacting.

The verdict was...yes, stitches, post haste.

So I loaded them up in the car and we drove to every parking lot in the park until we crossed paths with Toddly. I had clean clothes for him. He didn't even seem surprised when he saw me standing in the parking lot waiting for him to get closer. I think we are used to the unexpected at this point.

We took him to the ER and got him all stitched up. Of course, that is a lot easier said than done - we were there about 4 hours, I guess. But...we were all no worse for the wear.

I'm honestly surprised it took this long for someone to need stitches!
