As if ginormous beetles weren't enough excitement for an evening...

...Andrew fell into the corner of the stair baseboard tonight and has a lovely bump on his forehead. It will be a nasty bruise tomorrow morning. That, coupled with multiple bruises on his shins from various rambling mishaps are sure to send CPS straight to us tomorrow after the pediatrician sees him at 9 am for his one-year checkup.
On a positive note, we saw the shuttle/space station again tonight! It was very clear out and NASA told us precisely the time to watch (yeah, NASA and I are very close). I know I have said this before, but that precision always amazes me.

Oh yeah, we get lots of bumps and bruises at our house. With multiple children, you can even predict which child is going to get hurt first and in what manner...

There will be lots more to come. Unless you are shaking him, burning him with cigarettes, or locking him in the dog's crate, CPS will leave you alone.

What? Locking him in the dog crate isn't allowed? Just kidding. For the record, Ben has had 2 black eyes in his short life. Multiple bruises, head bumps and a really bad scrape very close to his eye. Right now he's just got a nasty scrape on his knee. Danny, on the other hand, is pretty much wound free except for the tiny sting he has on his ear. I'm not sure what got him, but he didn't cry...he just said, "Ouch, something stung me." Must've been a sweat bee or something. If CPS is coming to your house, I'm sure their next stop will be mine!
