Here begins what looks like a lovely blog about a boy and his father and a bonding experience of their first campout in the backyard. Kurt and Jackson rummaged the woods in our backyard building a fire pit and burning what looked like harmless wood and brush.
The above picture captures what I think Kurt's expression would have been if I had asked him, "Hey, do you think this wonderful memory-making experience with your son is worth the non-stop hell like fire that will cover your body and make you insane for the next three weeks?"
For those of you who don't know, Kurt and I somehow got poison oak, the evil and far more persistant cousin of poison ivy. Apparently it goes through your system and just pops up where ever it likes over the course of the next couple of weeks. We have tried everything and Kurt has even gone in and gotten steriod shots and other meds. We have tried all of the over the counter products from calmine, benedryl cream, ivyrest, and everything else. We have also tried something called jewelweed, which seems to be drying up some of the old stuff, but not stopping all of the new outbreaks. It is seriously the most maddening thing I have ever dealt with and so far there is no end in sight! At least we'll have these delightful family photos depicting a happy family enjoying backyard fun.
