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!

Questions, Questions...
Posted in Boy Things
We may have entered a new phase in the life our our household. I think I enjoy it for various reasons, but the number one reason I might be enjoying it is simple: my son is asking questions! (Insert happy dance here.)
Some of you know exactly how this may affect my personal health as a mom, and some of you may not. Let me explain. My little Habanero has been quite the spicy pepper from the beginning. Just check out any of my "Habanero classics" from the Boy Things category. Some entries in the Ticking the Funny Bone category exemplify it well, too. The simple fact is that I have an "early experimenter" here. Some people might call this an R&D specialist in the adult world. And, I'm sure this talent will serve this young man well, should we manage to focus it with laser precision in the right direction. . . .
Examples may include but are far from limited to the following:
- The top of the refrigerator is the perfect perch from which to see everything
- If I use this "spray stuff" (spray starch) on the dog, I can spike his hair like mine
- Food coloring, when mixed, makes lots of other colors on lots of surfaces
- If this toad becomes my "pocket pet" for a day, I can show him the world
- If I put the quail in the sink, maybe he can swim
(Okay, the last one wasn't as funny in reality. Thankfully, no one was hurt.)
Anyway, we have now entered a new phase of life, as I was saying. The following questions have been asked by Habanero. To this point, I don't believe we have had any early experimentation...yet!
- Mom, if I cover my nose and mouth when I sneeze, will my head explode, or will it come out my ears? Either way, I'm afraid to try it.
- Mom, what happens if you mix paint and gun powder?
- Mom, what happens if you put a firework in a fire? Does it burn up, fire off, or make a really, really big fire?
Please, God. Protect this child from his good mind! I have a feeling there is little I can do. . . .
Have a great week, friends!

The comment about the head exploding if you cover your nose and mouth while sneezing reminds me of one of dd's observations. I was cleaning out her ear one day. The wax was bright in color. Her question:
"I have orange juice in my ear????" LOL! We still laugh about that one.
By the way, I noticed you have the link to my website posted on your side bar. That website has changed. It is now found at
