Here we record the adventures that we take as a family, near and far.
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. :-)
Tonight as I was admitted back into the hospital, up on a high floor, I can see for miles. And I was struck by the number of lights - lights that represent people; people who have souls, and are in need of a Saviour. My prayer list tonight (and view from my hospital window).
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!"
You know that you spent too much time time in Oklahoma when you are trying to get your son to bring you a funnel, so you finally tell him, "It looks like a tornado"... and it works!
The boys are convinced that we are having roast alligator for supper.
"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.
