Aaron’s Scraped-Up Face

This weekend is mid winter break for Aaron and Taylor. (Like they need it with all the snow/sick days they’ve had lately.). Aaron had a half day today so he spent much of the afternoon playing outside down the road at a friend’s house. Across the street from his friend’s house is a big pile of snow from the snow plow. They had a ball playing on it (it’s like 4 or 5 foot tall, 6 or 7 foot long). When Aaron came home he was sporting a pretty red face, which under the circumstances (it was like 28 degrees) was normal. But on closer inspection I saw this:

I guess while playing on this snow/ice-hill, Aaron stumbled and fell down this thing and slid on his face. It totally looks like this kid was beaten up or something. We went to Walmart later on and I was so paranoid that someone was going to think we beat our kid!

He’s proud of it, though…typical boy. I have to say this is the worst he’s been hurt in a while. The more serious stuff seems to come about in the summer when he’s outside all day everyday. It seems to get worse as he gets older. Good thing I only have one boy…although Emma is a hellion in the making…she’ll probably have her fair share of bumps and bruises!
