Reading

Garett got in trouble and had to go to bed without being allowed to read a book before falling asleep.  He was shocked.  He had never had this consequence and found himself unable to fathom it. He grew desperate. 

I heard him yell down to me, "Can I read just for 10 minutes?" 

My answer, "No". 

He yells, "Can I have just 5 minutes to read?"

My answer, "No."

He yells, "What if I read my zoology book for school?"

My answer, "No."

A final plea of desperation, "What about the Holy Bible?"




Pretzels

This is how a child put away the pretzels in the pantry.

Parenting is so fun!!! ;-)

Swimming

Marissa has been taking swim lessons this entire year. Her instructor told her to come to swim lesson fully dressed to her next lesson! Why? She needed to learn swim survival. She thought being thrown in with all her clothes on was totally fun!
