I think my kids have decided that their sole purpose in life is to keep me on my toes! LOL  Last week we decided to let the older boys try Taekwondo.  Ethan, my 5 year old was ALL ABOUT learning it.  Trevor (8) was a little undecided.  He's not one to handle changes very well but said he would give it a try.  I bet you can guess what happened next.............

Trevor LOVED it.  He was so excited that he got to yell and kick "without getting in trouble."   Ethan on the other hand, lasted all of 10 mins in his class before he decided Taekwondo wasn't really his thing.  Instead of suffering through the classes, he said Trevor could just teach him. (At least it would save me a lot of money that way!)  But Trevor, said he wasn't going to do that.  If Ethan wanted to learn, he said Ethan could go to class just like him.  He's such a smart kid, that one. 

Now, does anyone want to guess what Ethan wants to be when he grows up since martial arts didn't work out for him?????

 ..............................drum roll please..............................

A professional bowler. 

And he was serious.  He said when he turns 18 he'll teach other people how to bowl and make money.  LOL  Of course, he makes this announcement right in front of the Taekwondo instructors.  Ethan really does go to the beat of his drum doesn't he??  He's such a goofball and I love him. 

Hugs,

Amanda

Okay, now that is funny! I'm glad my boys aren't the only goofballs around here.

Interestingly enough, my boys would rather play tennis or golf with daddy than do TKD. I was shocked! But pleased at the same time since it really does save us A LOT of money-- TKD costs mucho dinero, tennis at the local high school after hours? Uhhh... FREE!

Hope you are doing well, Amanda! Have a wonderful week!
