SO, Keven decided to keep a before Halloween tradition this year. He, once again, has a nice shiner!
Last Thursday, he was in PE at school and they were all running around. Well, apparently he stopped and turned and then WHACK!! Yep, you guessed it... A little girl's head went right onto his eye! So, he went to the office and they put ice on it. They gave me a jingle to let me know what happened and I said if he felt OK to leave him there. It was all swollen and red when I got him and each day it's turned a different color. Today, it's turned into that nasty yellowish bruise color, with a big streak of black color.
What's so funny about this is that he had a shiner at this time last year, same eye. We went to a friend's house for a Halloween party and the kids were swinging a wooden broom handle at a pinata. Candy started falling out and then the kids would grab what had fallen. Well, it hadn't completely busted and it went to the next person. Each kid got 3 swings, then was done. So, the girl swung and hit the pinata and candy flew out (Again, not busting it, but a few pieces came out). Keven felt the need to dive for the candy. While in mid-air dive, she pulled the stick back in full force to swing again and WHACK!! Keven got nailed on the eye. Totally his fault on that one. Here's pics of the one from last year. You can see where it whacked him and that it "cracked" on his brow making his mark look like Anakin's scar from Star Wars.
This is last year's shiner. October 2007
To top it all off, Keven burnt his lip on Friday evening on a bratwurst that he failed to blow on first! SO, when he woke up on Saturday, NASTY COLD SORE!!! Yep, he gets them so easily. So, 1/2 of his bottom lip is a grotesque cold sore. Thank heavens for abreva! Best stuff ever made. Basically, my son looks like he was in a fierce fight. Gotta love him, but I don't know if this shiner tradition is one he should keep.

Well, that's boys for ya!! Glad I found your blog! Now I can keep up with all my old friends even easier!
Okay, well, that wasn't Franklin posting, it was Jamie. But I didn't realize I was logged in as him until my comment was published. Oops.
What a crazy kid! Always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Well, I guess it's better than a body cast, impaling his lip with a fork and......the diabetes--Brady, the goofball! All we ever say now is "What's next?!?!" Hurry up and clean your house so you can find your camera. Hey, did Ben ever fix that portable DVD system I left there?
