fire in the hole!!!!

So it was Raegen's birthday and we were camping of course because it was a weekend. My cute nephew Kentston was playing this game he made up called "Fire in the hole". Ammused, I watched him pick up a small piece of garbage, wad it up into a little ball, say "fire in the hole", and throw it up in the air like a granade. Cute, right?...right. So his next move of course is to pick up something that could travel a little more distance. I watched him turn around and pick up this stick which was about 18 inches long and roughly the diameter of a baseball bat.

That is when it all happened. Everything started happening in slow motion. As I watched Kentston sling his arm back while simultaneously yelling ...yep you guessed it "fire in the hole", everything began to click. Immediately in my head I thought "he is going to throw that stick, and with my luck it will hit one of my very cute children...making them a little less cute". So I was just about to intervene by telling him to not throw sticks in camp when I was a split second too late. He swung back and released the stick (or small log as I like to tell it) so it came hurddling toward my face. It has been a week now and my face is back to normal. I can look back on this and laugh. ha ha ha. I'm just very very very happy I still have all of my teeth. This is the picture of me after I cleaned up all of the blood....I didn't take a picture of that (not a pretty picture).

I know I look like Elvis here but in the top pic I was really trying to smile for the camera. ha ha ha. that is freakin' funny.

SO I CAVED!!! so what

so this is it. I finally did it. I caved into peer pressure and I made myself a blog page. I cant believe it because I said I never would. Kind of like when capri pants first came out... I thought they were hideous and I said I would never wear them...now they are a huge staple of my wardrobe. Well now I will probably be on the internet for the next two weeks doing nothing but this!!! (i am a little OCD). Well ttfn.
