Alec "Shines"!

Wednesday nights are "tough" sometimes for the Carpenter's. I have mutual every Wednesday and Darren has planning commission twice a month on Wednesday. So, to help out last month Darren took Alec and Rachel with him, he let them play out in the lobby on the 3rd floor in the city building. He was called out of his meeting to come and see what his children were up to. These two had been picking at the potted plants they would throw the leaves over the balcony and watch them float down to the 1st floor. Onto the woman who works at the reception desk I might add. Amongst their frolicking they collided, Alec's eye and Rachel's forhead, Alec got the "shiner"! That night it was swollen off his head about an inch. By morning the swelling had gone down but the color started appearing. We had fun watching it change colors and move slowly down his eye all week.
