Pool Party

Our friends, Kerri and Chad, have lots of pool parties over the summer and as I have posted before, they have a son, Carter, that is 4 weeks older than Noah. A girl that Kerri works with, Amy, has a son, Parker, that is 6 weeks older than Noah. Last weekend, they had a party and here are some pictures of the boys.

I love how Parker is so excited, giving us fist pumps and Noah is putting his hand on Carter's back.

Maybe Carter was mad at Parker and Noah was upset about that!!! JK, but that could be their story.

We had a lot of fun until the end of the party when Ava came up to me and said, "mommy, my foot hurts." I took a look at her foot and saw that she had somehow stepped on some cactus prickers. We tried to pull them out with tweezers when we got home, but she screamed bloody murder and twisted and turned until she got out of our lock hold. We just decided to put her to bed because we weren't going to get anywhere.
Mike went online and read that you can put Elmer's glue on them and it pulls them off. We also called the ER in the morning and took her to a pediatric Urgent Care and they said the same thing. We did it about 4 or 5 times and by the next day she was fine. So it did the trick. Lesson learned, Ava MUST wear her shoes outside. Now all we say is you have to put your shoes on to go outside or you will get prickers and on they go.
