THE PALM TREE

Isn't it the truth that everytime you plan to get your kids pictures taken, they somehow get scratches on their faces days before. Sat. night, Bash ran head first into the rubalini palm tree in the backyard. We were having a lovely little evening hanging around the fire talking with the Cribb family when Bash went running from Hannah, looking backwards, and BAM! His face is all scratched up and he has a swollen lip from the thorns that were stuck in it. Boy, did it hurt! I am glad he didn't have a allergic reaction to it because the toxin in the plant stings bad enough! He is going to look pretty rough for awhile. So much for a relaxing evening.......
