This morning we woke up to Eliot's black eye. He had hit the bed frame last night as he was jumping back in bed. We're not exactly sure how it happened, because the light was out. But it was pretty swollen last night, even with ice on it. When he woke up he could only open his eye halfway and it was quite painful. He ended up not going to school, so we could keep ice on it and get the swelling down. We also skipped gym class for obvious reasons.
Jim caught the 8:00 am train to Schiphol. He had a business trip to Copenhagen, Denmark and got in a short visit with Joy and Greg from Carleton College. Later in the morning, Eliot, Miles and I made a quick run to the grocery store. I still needed cloves and ginger for the pumpkin pies I have been trying to make for 5 days.
While reading to Miles and getting him down for a nap, I fell asleep. When I woke up, I found Eliot on the chair sleeping in the sun room. I had already mixed the pie crust when Miles woke up. Miles and I rolled the pie crusts out and then made our pumpkin pies - finally! Miles was a big help in the kitchen "washing dishes" for me.
