Saturday at 2:00 Evan smacked his eye into a cinderblock. We had family pictures with my whole family scheduled for 4:00. Perfect timing!
My parents are building a Grandkids' Playhouse in their backyard and the girls were out hammering in nails and, of course, Evan decided he wanted to help. While investigating his hand slipped off a board and his head hit a cinderblock. He instantly got a giant goose egg under his eye and refused to let us put any ice on it. I was really worried it was going to look terrible, but by the time pictures rolled around the swelling was about gone and it was just colorful. I'm hoping we can work a little photoshop magic and get things fixed up a little before Grandma gets the pictures printed and up on her wall.
Today it is entering the green and purple faze. I'm sure this is just the first of many black eyes in his future.
Just ask my mom how many times she had to reschedule pre-photoshop pics of my brother and I for this exact reason. Before she realized she could put cover-up on my brother, that is :)
