The Dunns [dot] C.A.

Today I picked Marshall up from school for swimming lessons and he told me he had a “bloody boo boo”. yikes! He was running in the schoolyard and fell on the pavement so he got a nasty cut/scrape on his hand. He didn’t want to go swimming because his bandaid would fall off, and then it fell off right in the parking lot. I called to cancel the lesson anyway, because of the salt water pool …

I’m going to try to write a little bit every day or every other day if I can because we are missing out on documenting the cutest things because we forget them weeks later when we finally get around to writing.

Saturday night after we finally got a rambunctious birthday boy to bed, Rick had a shower and then came down and stared at me with such fury in his eyes! I didn’t know what could possibly be wrong… and then he turned on the light so I could get a good look at him… toothpaste all over his forehead! Apparently Marshall had been playing with the toothpaste when he was supposed to be going to the bathroom earlier… anyway, Rick was pissed, but we both couldn’t help but laugh. We didn’t want to punish him on his birthday, but I told him that it wasn’t a very nice thing to do, not to do it again etc. and later of course we told him he had to be supervised with the toothpaste from now on. hehe. He also made little toothpaste sandwiches with the bars of soap that I’d left out on the counter. I mean… how tempting is that??
