The Wonder of the Egg

Have any of you heard of using the inside slimy layer of the egg shell on head bumps? It works every time! Right after you or your child incur a head bump take them right to the kitchen and get out an egg. This will clear up the bump and bruise.

Reed fell yesterday while playing tag on the asphalt. Of course he hit his forehead. I wish I would have thought to have taken a before picture, but you'll have to trust me that the bump and bruising were bad. The bump was the size of a golf ball and by morning it was gone - leaving a very attractive road rash.

I hope you don't need to, but try it next time.

Grandma Plays Football?

When my mom and dad were out last, my mom played football with Reed. Check it out!

FOOTBALL!

Well, football has been very interesting to say the least. Jeff is one of the coaches and the season started with draft picking 6, 7, and 8 year olds. Then started a round of trades and from there an argument on the real meaning of the rule "no blocking." Apparently there are variations to the rule - to which Coach Jeff threw his clipboard on the sideline in disgust. I'm sure most of you are not too surprised! Oh, did I mention this is flag football?

Reed's team hasn't won yet, but they finally scored last week and boy were they excited. Here are some pictures and also a couple video clips. I'm still not good at the video clip thing, so while you'll see Reed in them, you won't really see him catching or scoring the ball. He's running in one and hiking the ball in the other.

Hilton Head Island

We took a very relaxing weekend to HHI. We went with our friends from Ohio - aka - The Gipps! The kids had a blast playing in the ocean and the parents had fun playing Mexican Train dominoes with drinks.
