Welcome to My Blog!
Schooling two active boys has never been more... interesting. That's the word I'm looking for!
I love my boys! God has given them the blessing of strong, active bodies and minds. We continually pray the first will remain intact, and the second will remain engaged with Him first, and then the school work. You'll meet my sweet sons, both entirely different, but both loving God to the best of their ability in the way He made them. I lovingly refer to them as my Bell Pepper Boy and my Habanero or Hambone. That should say it all!
This blog is an eclectic mix. The events, conversations, and the thoughts behind it all will be in here.
Every once in a while I'll try to capture something I don't want to forget. I hope you find things you enjoy. Please let me know if you do!
Blessings!

Just Venting?
Posted in Boy Things
*Previously posted on my old blog site.*
Another day, another moment. Today at lunch, my Habanero Boy decided to go into "creative solution" mode. This is the mode that can make me a little crazy sometimes. To be honest, it really gets me nearly every time.
Older brother made a pretty healthy lunch. He covered the food groups to the best of his ability, of which I am very proud. He's got a pretty good sense of meals these days, and that's a good start. Anyway, he chose to have water for the drinks this time. (Another good choice, since the milk in the cereal was near overflowing this morning at breakfast.)
Well, my little man decided he didn't really want the water. So, he took four sips from his full glass...and then got creative.
"M-o-o-o-o-o-m! He just poured his water down the vent!" older brother screamed.
"He did what?" I asked from less than ten feet away in the kitchen finishing the breakfast dishes.
Little brother screamed his older brother's name, as if he'd broken some secret agreement about tattling. That sure didn't help his cause.
I walked over and dismissed the younger son from the table.
All I could think to say as he left the table was, "Did you ever think that there might be a *ceiling* underneath the vent that you just dumped your water in!?!?!"
*sigh*
I know. It wasn't really a very helpful statement to make. And, it barely addressed anything related to said incident. I just couldn't think of anything better at the time. I have yet to check the downstairs ceiling...right above the television and other various entertainment components.
If someone wouldn't mind, I'd really like to know where these ideas come from!
Added later:
My older son has since filled me in on other activities with vents in our household. It seems my younger son has actually been seen peeing in his bedroom vent.
I'm mortified!
This explains a curious stain in the school room ceiling that happens to be a few inches from the area where I expect the vent to be.
It may also explain why our dogs have a propensity to go into his room and mark territory. |
