Cactus encounters


We went to the Tempe Historical Museum with Meagan and Ella yesterday for some good, educational and free fun. It is a cute museum with a good play area for the kiddos. Well, we are leaving and I am feeling like an awesome mom for planning a fun day when Easton trips right over one of these.


There was another cactus right next to it that, thankfully, his face just brushed. Literally SOOO close to his eye. I am so glad that Meagan was there with me. We scooped him up and together quickly pulled 5-6 thorns out of his legs and more in his bum. His diaper protected his bum but his poor legs took a beating. These go all the way up his leg.

These pics are from today so they look bad but nothing like yesterday. The poor guy was bleeding everywhere... whew!

  1. Ouch, ouch, and ouch! Poor guy. Hope he (and you) weren't too traumatized!

    Speaking of cactus, lately Owen wants to wear his hair spiked and he calls it "pokey cactus" hair! Funny kid.

  3. I cringed as soon as I saw your blog post title. Poor Easton. That's it, Arizona is way too dangerous. You need to move to Southern California where it is much safer. :)
