the things we did yesterday

1. Had an exterminator come over to give an estimate on our house.  Of course none of the ants or black widow spiders came out to play while he was there.

2. Tended to a very black and blue finger that Nathaniel shut in the sliding glass door.  Let me just clarify that it was his own finger.  Looks pretty bad, and I think it feels worse.  The consensus is that he won’t have that finger nail for long.
