Tuesday, November 10 
This past weekend we had glorious weather! GLORIOUS! We were outside all day on Saturday! ALL DAY! This swing you see my daughter on, is a favorite swing . . . the children (well, not the little one) love this swing. The higher the better. My husband saved some of the leaves and made a wonderfully huge leaf pile for the children to frolic in. (also for this momma to get one good photo for Christmas cards-out of 47 photos-not one is card worthy) I had the brilliant idea to show my children how to swing and drop off this swing into the pile of leaves. Oh the joy! Oh, the giggles! Oh, the pushing I had to do! (my back has been aching for at least two days now)
On one particular push, I leaned in and down and my daughter leaned back and down. My face met her head. Ow ow ow ow owie!!!!!
This is the first black eye I have ever had! Isn't that unbelievable?
Anyway, my daughter was so upset she didn't even want to talk about it. She just felt horrible, even as I was laughing about it and telling her it was fine. (she would be quite horrified to find out I am now telling, like, hundreds of people) I told her how about we tell everyone Daddy socked me in the eye. Her eyes lit up and she states, "Oh, yes, momma, say that".
Needless to say, I am not saying that because I don't want to have to bail my husband out of jail.

OUCH! That looks like it hurts. Your poor daughter. Bless her heart. I would feel bad if I hurt my Mommy too, and I am twenty-freakin'-seven years old! lol
I love that first photo. Playing in the leaves is so much fun. :)
Ouch! (is right) :( poor thing.
Ouch!! I hope it heals right up!
Cute photo of her, and OUCH on your eye!
And I agree..I wouldn't say your hubby gave you that..lol.
You poor thing, that's quite a shiner!
OMGOSH! OUCH is right!
So sorry you ended up with a blackeye and no good photos for the cards :(
Adorable shot on the swing though :)
Happy WW!
Oh I love it, throw daddy under the bus! ha ha Poor mama, hope it doesn't hurt too much.
Looks painful...the first shot however, is truly glorious. I love all the leaves.
Those two pictures coming from the same event are simply baffling! She looks joyous and I just wanted to jump in those leaves!
Your daughter is adorable! OUCH at that black eye!! Hope it heals quickly :)
What a great pic...your daughter looks like she is having the best time!
Ouchie with the black eye, I hope it heals up quick!
I love the picture of your daughter on the swing and all the signs of fall all around. Beautiful!
So sorry that you suffered a beating during the moment. Tell people you walked into a doorknob. Then they'll automatically assume your DH hit you. ;-) Heal quick!
Each of my boys have busted my lip at some point, but a black eye...ouch!
The swing does look like a lot of fun, though.
LOL That pic of her is ADORABLE... the one of you, not so much hahaha Awww, but at least it's a worth-it war wound. She looks like she was having a ball!

Ouch! Your daughter looks like she is having a blast though.
Now that's the way to jump into leaves!!
Oh! You poor thing! So cute that she was happy to blame Daddy! LOL!
Love the first photo!
About the snow, the photo has taken in Estonia, and yes they have snow there.
OUCH! looks painful!
That swing looks like fun!
I just love your photos! (And your new-ish template really lends itself well in featuring your work. Love it!)
Hope the bruise fades soon. Ouch.

Now you got me wondering: What brought you to China and how long did you stay there?
Be safe while shooting for more Christmas cards.
My kids heads have given me fat lips, but not a black eye!! OUCH!
The joys and pains of having kids :)
Ouch! That's a great picture of her though!
oh your eye!!:( She is a doll and the pic turned out great! stop by
My grandma had a swing like that when we were little. We called it a "monkey swing." :) I can still remember spinning around on it. Good times.
Double ouch on the black eye. The one and only I ever had was the day before I went off to college. Made a nice impression - even though I got it with a water gun fight mishap.
fun sometimes hurts...feel better soon
Ouch! that looks painful! At least it comes with good memories!
Oh no! I remember getting bloody noses from giant, rearing baby heads. Also, so funny that she wanted to go with the story about daddy. ha!
oh that's a nasty accident, she must be really terrified. Kids are always scraed when something like that happens. I can't imagine how she felt after that incident seeing that very nice photo swinging.
hope your black eye is healing now, take care!
happy WW!
Omfun!! That swing looks so awesome. I would be swinging right along with them :)
Your poor eye. :( I had a black eye once from my dog...seriously. I think people thought I was lying but come on why would I say my dog did it LOL.
Can't wait to see your Xmas card pic. I bet it is gorgeous. Those leaves are so clorful.
Ouch...
I bet you got some great shots for your Christmas cards.
Oh, my! Hope your eye feels better. Your poor daughter - I bet she feels badly :-(
Looks like a fun picture, except for the black eye, that looks painful!! Hope that you heal quickly. It seems like you have a good attitude about it.
I have to agree, last weekend was beautiful. Sorry about your eye. Hope it gets better soon.
Oh no! Too bad your daughter felt so bad about an accident.
It was a gorgeous day though.
Happy WW!
that is a gorgeous pic of your daughter! Looks like so much fun!
Sorry to see that she hit you in the face...poor girl! I bet she did feel bad ;(
Happy WW
I love that picture of your daughter! Poor thing. She had to feel so bad for hurting you.
Owie!
But the pic of her on the swing is fantastic!
I hope your eye gets better soon!
I hope you feel better soon! That looks tender.
Your daughter is a doll.
Oh goodness! That is funny and painful at the same time! So sorry you got hurt and to add insult to injury you didn't even get your Christmas card picture. Darn it all.
The swing looks like great fun but OUCH! Hope your eye gets better fast and that you get that Christmas card photo. We're still trying for one here too.
I think that picture is beautiful! Your daughter is a cutie and those leaves are lovely! I wish we had leaves like that here in Cali!
I bet your daughter feels horrible! Poor you. Yeah, just blame in on your husband.
Ow!! You deserve an award for taking such a hit all in the name of fun!
I love the picture of your daughter swinging. Fall is so beautiful. :)
Sounded like a wonderful day until.......great shot of your daughter. I wish we had Fall here:( Happy WW and thanks for stopping by. I hope your eye feels better:)
Oh my goodness, ouch! Sorry about your eye. I love the swing and big pile of leaves. Great pictures.
Oh ow!! I thought it looked like fun until I saw the oops! Poor you! We've been enjoying glorious days up here too. :)
Yipes! But what a story she'll have to tell years from now...
She's adorable!
Owie! I hope your daughter feel better soon knowing that you'll be alright. I remember a little girl who was so upset that she dropped my daughter when she was just starting to work. I felt so bad for her and kept trying to get her to understand that it was alright and she didn't do it on purpose .
I hope you do get a good photos for the Christmas cards!
Accidents do happen. I hope it heals up pretty fast.
