I was just looking through the pictures that I had taken this past week and realized that they looked more like pictures that would be found on a camera belonging to Child Protective Services than pictures that a mother took of her lovely children. Here they are.
Do you agree? Max has a giant growth on his head from a mosquito bite, well, I think that's what it is. Quincy sometimes blows up like that too when she gets them. Quincy's knees are not going to survive the summer. One day a couple weeks ago she was running into school and tripped and skinned them pretty good - we got our first experience in the school nurses office that day. We kept band-aids on them for several days and THE DAY we took them off, she fell again at a park and tore the scabs right off. So, we doctored them up and bandaged them again, for several more days. I decided that she could have bare knees for the last day of school, and that morning, what to you expect - she ran into school again and tripped again! Another trip to the nurses office. I couldn't believe it, they were looking pretty bad - these pictures were taken that day after school. As if this story couldn't get any longer - tonight I was out with her and she was on her bike. We were going along a fishing pier and she got caught up in watching someone reel one in, and down she goes, AGAIN. Poor girl - good thing she's tough - I know that one of these days and innocent sidewalk is going to get more than they bargained for when they pick on her.
