That darkened spot on his forehead between his eyes sadly is not a shadow. I thought that moving to a house with carpeted stairs and a nearly two year old that was really good at maneuvering on them would have eliminated this possibility. But Hyrum found some concrete stairs to fall down. The very stairs that he was sitting on so adorably in the last post. Derek didn't see it, just the aftermath. He cried and cried until I snuggled him for awhile and he noticed that Derek had a rocket on his shirt. Immediately the hands were together pointed upward over his head and he was shouting "ROCK". He's going to be alright. But the reason why he's in those pajamas is because he fell because he was being a cheeky monkey on the stairs. And he WAS being a cheeky monkey...that's why he fell!The reason why Derek was outside was to try to figure out how to turn on our sprinkler system. It's been warm this week ( near 80 ) and the grass won't stand many more days of that without a sprinkler system. There is a box near the garage that we were sure was where the turn on was but it looked like the water was already on yet no water was running. We were confused. So Derek set out to figure the mystery. Yes...ANOTHER mystery. And my genius of a husband figured it out. I dare say he can be called "HANDY" now. Here's how it works...
Hook the hose up to the water spigot outside in the back yard...
Run the hose into the house through the kitchen and out into the garage...
Then run the hose out the garage to the spigot near the sprinkler system water valve...turn water on out back. Ta DAH! sprinkler system is working! Yeah we don't get it either!But it sure makes this much more inconvenient...
This is where the water spigot was in the FRONT yard. The water spigot that fell off into my brother in law's hand when he touched it. The water spigot that doesn't even have a water tube connected to it. For some reason they capped it. Anyone know how to install an exterior water spigot...we could sure use the help!Oh and it snowed...AGAIN!

Oh no! Poor little man. Glad he recovered (emotionally) quickly. :) He has a hard head. :)
I think you moved into the craziest house ever. :) Hope you figure out a more efficient way to run teh sprinkler!
Atleast the snow helps the grass get green :)

I think it's great that kids forget much faster than their parents when they get hurt. I can't wait to see all of you - Hyrum is getting SOOO big, and he's gorgeous. That water set-up, that looks very Jensen-ish. And more snow, wow!
