Ice, sword fights, and boys

Typically, I have a love/hate relationship with the weather, but right now it's mostly hate. It is causing one heck of a mess around here. The grossness isn't just about inconvenience, it is causing a lot more work too. The ice caused a lot of limbs to fall, and of course loads of mud. While these photos are from the first ice round, I thought it appropriate considering yesterday's ice and today's rain.

During all the cleanup, there was a bit of an accident too.

How? Well, let's just say boys will be boys, and let the next picture do the rest of the talking...

Yes, that is sword fighting. Everything turned out fine, though. Mom cleaned up Isaac's wound and put some butterfly strips on it. He was good to go, and now has a cool upside down v scar.
