Eric's thumb

You can't really tell from the picture, but Eric really smashed his thumb the other day bringing in a door for the downstairs. It hurt him so bad, and he was in so much pain! He had his brave mom (because neither he nor I could do it) stick it with a hot paper clip through the nail to relieve the blood. Well, blood exploded all over the bar, but eventually it felt better. Crazy how something little like that can cause so much pain!

Pumpkin fun

It was a pumpkin carving FHE last night. It was fun, but Eric and I got to de-gut all the pumpkins. Noone wanted to touch all the gooeing ooeing parts of the pumpkins. Everyone did design their own pumpkins, so that was fun. We roasted some pumpkin seeds afterward and kids took some in their lunches today. This is a fun part of the year, except for the snow of course!
