May 11, 2006


The BEAST!!!!! It's back!!! I came home last night and the first thing that greeted me was that mysterious funky odor that keeps plaguing our house! It comes and goes and we can't figured out where it's coming from. I realized, as I was sniffing the foul air, that it most likely greeted the 4 (yes, 4, not 1 like we originally thought) realtors that previewed our house earlier in the day. I ran around the house last night lighting candles and opening windows, and today I have a sore throat. But hopefully the smell will be absent for the person looking at our house this evening.

It was chilly last night, but we took a walk anyway. We went to the park where Chase amazed us (me and other parents) with his fearlessness on the slides. He climbed up on the slides and took a run at the bar above the slides, grabbed ahold of the bar, swung once and hurled himself half-way down the slide where his butt hit and slid to the end of the slide where it launched him onto the gravel. He thought it was fun, I had put my hands over my eyes and the other parents gasped in horror...then looked at me accusingly like, "You actually let him do that?" I shrugged and shook my head, what can you do? Then we went down to the pond and he tried to pull a log out of the water. He dropped the log and gave himself a couple big, welty scratches on his calf and shin. Yesterday alone he gave himself a fat lip from swinging the baby gate shut on his face, then he fell into the window ledge at daycare and he got a bruise on his forehead, then the log incident. I looked at his body last night in the tub and in addition to the above mentioned "bonk-a-knees" he also has a bruise on his elbow, both knees have scrapes and cuts and numerous bruises on his shins. Aaaahh, summer....
