Accident Prone

Ethan is absolutely our clutziest, most accident prone kid. Wednesday he spun on our computer chair and then took off running down the hall!?! He smacked his head on the corner of the post by our stairs. He started crying and then I saw the blood running down the side of his head. I could see that while it wasn't terribly bad it would need something. He's already had glue and stitches so this time he got 2 staples in his head. The doctor also put a blue tape around his head to keep some gauze on it for a little while. Ethan at first was mortified that he would have to wear it to school until I showed him the wound and he reluctantly agreed to wear it (I would've let him stay home that day but he insisted on going). I was just glad to keep dirty little fingers off of it. After he got home he apparently had grown quite fond of it and didn't want to take it off for quite awhile. Here's the proof:

Tradition

Last weekend we went to the annual Eastern Idaho State Fair with my family. It's kind of funny that we are still going to the fair after all these years but my kids love it. They love hanging out with grandma and grandpa and cousins, looking at things at the fair, and seeing all the animals. I love the food and Chad digs the horse races. The Indian Relay Races are pretty exciting. Here a few pics from the weekend.

Ethan's first day!

Here is Ethan on his first day of kindergarten (sorry the pictures are a little distorted...still working on how to post larger photos!) He was so excited. It was really hard to wait a week after Madelyn started. He picked out his own clothes and couldn't wait to ride the bus with his friends. It was quite a sight at the bustop with all the momarazzis and our cameras. We then drove over to the school and waited for the kids to get off the bus and we walked them into class and took a few more pics. Chad teased me about it but -a mom's gotta do what a mom's gotta do. He was so cute and grown up (except the mom and camera following him part). He had a great first day and first week so far. He has a great teacher and I know he'll have a great year!
