sooooooo... i pick up my boys from school, & i don't do this often but they love it, i brought them a lollipop to eat in the car. when i say i don't do that often don't go thinking i'm a meanie!! i usually try & give candy nearer a time they are going to clean their teeth...

we arrive home, it was pouring with rain, my phone starts ringing & i drop my keys in a puddle. i'm desperately trying to keep the kids from jumping in there too with arm actions so the person on the phone doesn't have an inkling of the chaos going on. i'm rubbish at doing that though because even though i try really hard i know my voice changes a bit & i can't actually listen properly to whats being said either!!

somewhere between the car, steering the boys, trying to get flynn to put down the muddy sticks he's collecting, carrying 2 backpacks, a closed umbrella, my phone held to my ear with my shoulder & unlocking the door i managed to knock the skin completely off my knuckle :( it was bleeding quite a lot & at first i stuck some kitchen towel on a la cut yourself shaving... but it looked gross & wasn't very functional!!

flynn, my 4 year old, has a very caring nature, came over & wanted to see, then before i could stop him he kisses it... but we're not talking a light peck... we're talking big sticky lollipop smooch... then shouts for his brother & says 'look mum's got a boo boo' & didn't steer his point so well & pushes his muddy finger in... so i now have a skinless knuckle covered in a mixture of cherry slobber & dirt!! but it was nothing a spiderman band aid couldn't fix!

flynn the photographer!
