Yesterday, we considered heading off to the pool, but it turned out to be a nice day-barely 80 degrees, so we stayed home instead. Ellie decided to sit on the kid's last lawn chair (it's actually Anna's Dora chair & bright pink, all of the other little chairs have broken along the way-they don't last very long). Anyway, she had it under the tree beside the sandbox (I, by the way, was picking black raspberries & was a little distracted) & apparently she fell over the back of it trying to climb into it. She apparently scraped the tree on the way down, giving herself a nasty road rash on her face, which, by the way, is the 2nd time this summer she's gotten road rash on her face. A couple of months ago, she decided to get up & stand in the wagon while I was pulling it and promptly fell out on her face. She is my most adventurous, gets into trouble every minute child by far.
Anna & Isaac got to work with Daddy yesterday while he helped Grandpa work on the combine and they came back extremely dirty, but Anna, by far, was the worst. If I hadn't been trying to keep Ellie away from her greasy body, I'd have taken a picture. As it was, it was stressful enough just to see her. I whisked her to the shower, and used Dawn soap, John's grease soap & bath soap and I STILL didn't get it all off. I saw her clothes, too, and they may be DOA-but I will try to get them clean or at least, cleaner, but it's a grim prognosis at this point.
