Oh Maaan...

On our way to soccer practice tonight, we were riding our bikes and I was just a little ways behind our oldest two when I noticed the 9yo swerving wildly.

Then I noticed that her knee was dragging. She finally swerved to a stop and flew off onto the grass.

Her knee started bleeding right away.

Here it is...


I think that there may still be some gravel in there. We will have to wait and see. :(

Out of the mouths...

This morning as I was making breakfast, my youngest dd (3yo) said to me.

"Momma, please really try and not make it gross."

Um, yeah, I will get right on that.

A New Development

Our oldest got glasses today! She is having a little trouble seeing things far away, so we got glasses!!

Doesn't she look beautiful?

Gotta Love Allergies!

This is how my third born woke up the other morning! Poor thing was so congested that she could hardly breathe through her nose!

The Incredible, Unbreakable Egg

We are learning about birds and their eggs this week. Our experiment was to try and break an egg by just squeezing it.

The girls were so excited to try this and they were just sure that they could do it!


Here is the first attempts:







Nobody could seem to get it done!!

They were kind of disappointed that they couldn't break them. They thought that it was cool, but they wanted to get messy!

So...
I told them how to break them without hitting them and let them try!


It took a little longer than they thought!





All in all it was fun and it drew our neighbors out of their houses when they heard the screaming from yolk running down their arms!!

And the rain, rain, rain came down, down, down...

Last weekend we were being flooded. Literally. We had water in our basement and standing water in our yard. Did I get pictures of that? No.

I did get pictures of a nearby church a few days after the rain had started receding. This church had been completely surrounded by water. It was within a few feet of their building all the way around.



This was the field that the girls practiced soccer on last year!!




This is part of the same field.




At least they could use most of their parking lot again.




But not all of it.



This is not supposed to be a lake. It is supposed to be a field of green grass.
