Pathway to Heaven

Double Bubble Science 101

I had just gotten the baby down for a nap when I smelled something burning.  Not a pretty scented candle kind of burn.  A teenage son has gotten into the matches kind of burn......

I went to the kitchen to find one of my scented candles lit.....nothing strange there...except I hadn't lit it and the smell I smelled wasn't coming from there.  I found an 18 year old and 8 year old in the living room snickering.

When confronted, Zach told me he was teaching Cameron chemistry.  Ok....right there I can tell you it isn't good.  When pushed farther, he described the "experiment".  Did you know that Dubble Bubble wrappers burn GREEN?  It has something to do with the chemicals in the wrapper.  So the boys were chewing gobs of Dubble Bubble gum and burning the wrappers to check out the flame.....

One part of me is excited that the big guys are interested in "homeschooling" their younger brothers....the other part of me wants to hide every match and lighter within 100 miles.....

My journey along the Pathway to Heaven via the roads of marriage, motherhood, homeschooling and mentoring~the people I journey with, those I meet along the way, what I carry with me, what I leave behind. My journey is full of trials and obstacles, joys and surprises. Everyday is an adventure.....won't you come along?
