Another Black Eye

Except this time it isn't Benjamin--


Yep--it's Ethan.
And how did he get this?


Basketball?  Football?  Goofing with friends? 

Nope--it was Zane.


Does he look innocent?--NOT!!!!!!!!!!!


Rusty & I were out at our land (on a mini-date) & we thought we left a relatively quiet & peaceful house.

Zane, Emmalee & Callum were playing a new church game "Speak it Not" (like Taboo).

Zane called Emmalee a name because she didn't get an answer & Ethan wacked Zane with a magazine to get him to stop.

Then toys went flying at Ethan, & one connected with his check bone.

And yes--this happened on Sunday.................while the kids were playing a CHURCH game.


The same day I was called to be the Primary President.


You think the kids could get "along" for more than a few minutes!!!


Yes--that's right.  I am now the Primary President.  YIKES!!  I haven't been released from my other callings yet (primary chorister & cub master), but I have been assured I will be as soon as they replace me.
Today (Monday) the honking-big goose egg swelling has gone down, but his eye is more black & blue than yesterday.

Ethan didn't want me to take any pictures, but I talked him into it.  So I decided I was just going to post all of them.

And he had to endure a lot of ribbing from EVERYONE at school--about his little brother giving him a black eye.

I am just thankful that Zane doesn't have a broken arm or leg!!  I did hear that Zane did get a good spanking from Ethan ☺

Isn't that how it usually goes, the children fighting before something spiritual or after. I find that when we are getting ready for FHE or prayer, that is when we have at least 2 crying or arguing over something.
