First "Shiner"...and other stuff...

Well, we have had quite a week with Austin and his boo boo's! First, we had a little incident on his forehead, thanks to Autumn and a plastic bike pump last Sunday, then on Thursday, he fell at daycare and scratched his face, then Friday night the doozy came! Jimmy and I were helping our friends Josh and Ashley move, so we got a babysitter to come over to our house and watch all 5 kids. While she was making them dinner, the kids were outside and the boys were playing baseball, well, Austin had already been told to stand back, but his eye met the plastic ball bat. Boy can Peyson swing that bat hard! Needless to say, that explains this very black eye! I guess after that little incident, he and the other kids stayed far away from the bat as possible from then on...(hopefully he learned a lesson!? :)

Tonight we wanted to get some photos for the scrapbook (that someday will be done!:) so we shot a few of these photos while he was "reading" his new favorite book to us. He is quite a character these days and keeps us laughing lots. His favorite page of the book says "Every ghost loves a BOO!" and he reads it over and over again expecting to scare us when he says boo...then of course just laughs at us when we jump! It is pretty cute.

Autumn wanted her turn with the camera as well, so Jimmy shot a few of her too. She is also loving this new easy to read book that has been sitting on the bookshelf at my school for probably 8 or so years just waiting to be read. Glad I brought it home for them to enjoy!
Only 2 more weeks of school. I am looking forward to my summer. Lots of projects to do, but have to try to get all the school stuff done too. So much to do in so little time. So far, it looks as though I will be teaching 5th grade. I am very nervous about this and the team will be an adjustment for me, but hopefully it will go well. I should know for sure by the end of this week whether or not it will be 4th or 5th, but as for now, it is 5th. I have to get my classroom all packed up and moved by next Friday...fun, fun!

Well, that's pretty much it for now. Hope you all are enjoying keeping up with the Miller Clan...click on the link below ( # comments) and leave us a comment to know that you are reading!

Megan got her first shiner last summer too and they definitely draw attention in public;). Try Arnica - its a herbal cream you can get at Vitamin Cottage or Whole Foods for scrapes and bruising. It reduces the duration of the bruising. Megan's was gone w/in the week of using it. Lotsa Love!
