Life's lessons
The girls learned one of life's lessons tonight, in a big way. Karen and I were weeding the flower beds in the front yard. Emily and Maggie were having a big time just rolling around in the grass. Karen warned them a couple of times it was going to cause them to get itchy. Sure enough, once they stopped, Emily was screaming that her body was itchy all over. She was inconsolable, so Karen had to quit working and take them both for a bath. Once I finished up and went inside, Karen gave me the recap. When she placed them in the bath, both girls skin turned red and resembled hives. Applying cool water and then moisturizing cream finally cooled their skin. Poor boogers. Another lesson learned the hard way.
