A little of this, a little of that

Harrison is really in need of a break from school...he is anxiously awaiting the days of leisure where nothing is on the agenda but camping, traveling, playing and friends. We have not been talking up summer vacation this year as he will have to go when we are in town, but honestly, it will be good for him to have a schedule 3 days-a-week...




I always think of Harrison as being a big kid, until he stands next to a tall 5 yr-old buddy...
When I arrived to pick Harrison up on Friday, he was sitting at the table looking incredibly sad and in pain. While out playing in the sandbox, he pulled his hoodie up onto his head and dumped sand into his eye, at which point he proceeded to cheese-grate it on his eyeball. It was obvious that he had not been able to stop touching or rubbing it so by the time we arrived home his eye was very swollen. Thankfully, our neighbor is an eye doctor and after some drops, polysporin and a patch, Harrison was content and within 24 hours he was 100%!

Arrgh. Popcorn for dinner? Sure.


This weekend was gorgeous (finally) and we were able to get away to Revenue Flats where Pat was able to do some climbing...at which point Harrison insisted that it was time for us to get him the body harness we have been promising.


Yahtzee!
Wiped-out!
