Can you get lead poisoning from pencils?
So I was putting away all the breakfast stuff after getting Tanner and Jayla out the door for school. I picked up the milk and realized that there was something clinking around in the container. I looked inside..... What the?! There are 2 pencils in the milk container that was just opened this morning. Thanks to the 1 yr old in our home I transferred the milk into a pitcher. I'll let you all know if any of us get lead poisoning.

Hey, saw the picture come up on http://play.blogger.com and thought I'd ease your fears.
There's actually graphite in pencils and not lead, so you can't get lead poisoning from them. Lead pipes and lead paint, yes, pencils, no.
Hey - now you can say you were one of the first to have your blog photos featured on Blogger's slideshow! Are you okay having a public blog? Anyway, Jake has got some precision hand-eye coordination there! Were you creeped out at first, though? Like, what the heck is in our milk?!?!?
Emily,
The first picture you posted of an angelic-eyed Jake is great. How could a sweet little face like that do any thing wrong.
Love~Mom
