Jeff's fishing gear really came in handy this week. These scissors with teeny tiny tweezer points -- meant, I'm guessing, for extracting fly hooks from fish lips -- were just the thing for gently pulling out Samuel's forehead stitches, saving me another trip to the doctor. (He fell on a rock in our yard.) Yes, I'd rather wrangle a 3-year-old for five minutes on the bathroom counter than wait with him for 45 minutes at the clinic, even if the magazines are good. Un-huh. I asked Samuel to hold the scissors up today, thinking that would be a much better photo, but Emma vetoed that as cheesy. Which is just as well because Samuel's posing nearly resulted in more stitches. Silly me.
What I really want to thank Jeff for in this post, however, is doing all the packing and preparations for our boys' trips. Last week Kyle attended Especially for Youth in Logan from Monday to Saturday, and this week is on a camping trip with his church age group. James went camping with his grandpa Wednesday through Saturday last week. Jeff got them ready. He did it ALL. He carefully packed just what they needed. By the time I even registered that the trips were coming up, Jeff was done. Jeff was on top of things and looking out for his children. He saved me a lot of work, too. Way to go, Jeff!
