Ooooh too funny!
Have a great Sunday!
God bless :)
:) I sure hope this all didn't happen in the matter of a weekend!!! All I can say is..you've got yourself a real, true boy there :) Thanks for making me laugh!!! :)
Boy oh Boy! that is why I cried when my 3rd kid was a boy. I blamed it on hormones but we all know the truth ;}
OK, you seriously have your hands full. The magic eraser thing is possibly the one that would have me in the most hysterics. Although, I will sing magic erasers praises. It has been my friend as of late!
Take care and get a short leash!
I began just gently shaking my head in sympathy; progressed to smiling slightly in rememberance; ended up snorting & laughing out loud- especially over the comments to the poor people in the store!
Thanks for dropping by my garden- visitors are always welcome!
I bet that kid has gotten his fair share of spankin's! My goodness. God is trying to develop an awesome patient character in you, Suzanne.
Suzanne,
Thanks for sharing this! I totally relate. When you ask "What were you thinking when you did that?" and they reply, "I don't know?" with a suprised and somewhat horrified look. I truly believe them. The consequences that tend to follow most "good" ideas are hopefully "learning experiences":)
