My boys, watching the deer out the dining room window this morning:
Son 1: "I wouldn't want to eat a deer, because they eat GRASS!"
Son 2: "People do eat deer, but they take the grass out first, so it's okay."
Adventures
Here we record the adventures that we take as a family, near and far.
I think there might be a little cabin fever going on in our house. One of the boys just asked if we could please take a drive to England. "We could take a ferry!" he said.
So, I'm not normally one to post pictures of toilet paper, but... I went to Walmart, and the shelves were absolutely empty with signs about rationing due to the shortage of toilet paper. Only I don't think there really is one. I went to SAAR's Super Saver to do the rest of my shopping, and the top of every single isle throughout the entire store, and the perimeter of the store was stocked like these pictures with toilet paper. So it would seem to be either a manufactured crisis or a lack of order planning, or combination of both, in my uneducated opinion.
I was at the L&I office this morning renewing my contractor's license, and they were having trouble with their doors. The door wouldn't stay unlocked, and the ADA accessibility feature was messed up, and we were all laughing about it.
Then I said, "Sounds like a L&I Code Violation to me."
Everyone got dead silent and very serious. Evidently it's not cool to joke about that.
We try to teach the boys to be respectful in different ways. One thing that we have told them is to call policemen "officers" not "cops." I just overheard EdWord ask one of his brothers, "You wanna play Robbers and Officers?" (AKA Cops and Robbers)
At Walmart, they have Christmas trees and decorations for sale now, and so I asked one of the workers, "Y'all know it's September, right?" She replied, "I know; we're running behind getting our school supplies out of here!"
Nope, that's not what I meant. :-)
I love to overhear my boys having conversations with each other about God.
Boy 1: "Do you realize that God built EVERYTHING that we see!"
Boy 2: "No, What He did, is that He made this great big giant ball and then WE got to build on it!"
"Wolled away! Wolled away! All da bu'dens o' my heart are wolled away!" I love hearing my three-year-old sing out at the top of his lungs!
That's what's on the schedule so far this morning for us men. Yep, I am eating pickles and watching volcanoes erupt on YouTube with my boys so their Mama can sleep in this morning.
Ahh, it's March, and Spring is in the air, Northwest style...
