Stitches Boy Strikes Again

Yep, stitches again. This time it's five stitches above his left eyebrow. Inflicted on him by a six year old girl. To be fair, Zoe didn't think she was hitting anyone (or so we hope).

The kids were goofing around in the basement before school and Carter and Charlie were in the little tent I have set up downstairs. Zoe picked up a plastic (yes, plastic) kids chair and lobbed it at the tent. Unfortunately it made contact with the boys head. Boy did it bleed and boy is it ugly.

This one will show unlike the other two sets of stitches which is hair hides. The scar will be jagged as well. Hopefully it will be cool looking as he gets older or hopefully at least he'll think it's cool.

I'm so very done with stitches; wish Carter knew that as well.

She's a Taekwondo Warrior Princess!

We decided to sign the kids up for Taekwondo this winter. There first class was three weeks ago. Athena got her uniform last week as did Carter. I only took photo's of Athena as Carter's pants are about 3 inches too short. I forgot to get his photo tonight. I'll try to remember to do it next week.

Athena is like a fish in water. She is super good at this. I think ballet helps her - lots of choreography and movements to memorize. This will hopefully give her some skills in how to focus and maintain control.

Tonight was their third week and Master Gaines decided Athena was ready to break a board. She was super nervous and I don't think she thought she could do it. Master Gaines had faith for the both of them and walked her through it and convinced her she could do it and do it she did! It was absolutely super cool to watch!







Top Teeth are Gone

Well for just the day if even that long. Athena's second top tooth came out on January 10. Good thing too as the two new teeth were already poking through. Athena told someone yesterday that her new teeth are "HUGE!". Let's hope she grows into them. :~)






First Snow of 2010

Our first snow storm of 2010 was on January 7th. Cassie got to hang out and play in the snow with the kids. Fun time had by all.
