Ain't

He was just a little boy, on a week's first day.

Wandering home from Bible school and dawdling on the way.

He scuffed his shoes into the grass.

He even found a caterpillar.

He found a fluffy milkweed pod and blew out all the 'filler'.

A bird's nest in a tree overhead, so wisely placed up so high.

Was just another wonder, that caught his eager eye.

A neighbor watched his zigzag course and hailed him from the lawn.

Asked him where he'd been that day and what was going on.

'I've been to Bible School', he said and turned a piece of sod.

He picked up a wiggly worm replying, 'I've learned a lot about God.'

'M'm, very fine way,' the neighbor said, 'for a boy to spend his time.'

'If you'll tell me where God is, I'll give you a brand new dime.'

Quick as a flash the answer came!

Nor were his accents faint.

'I'll give you a dollar, Mister, if you can tell me where God ain't.'

No, I Have Not

No, I have not seen your lipstick. Why would you even ask me that? I'm insulted! Every time something goes missing around here, everybody looks at me! For your information, I don't even wear that shade. It doesn't flatter my complexion and it tastes terrible. Oops.

Happy 4th Of July

My little guy decided he wanted to get up today BEFORE 8am. Yep, it's gonna be a long day and he's probably going to be a bit cranky. I bet daddy will be too since he got up with him before I got up. I didn't stay in bed too much later though because I could hear them in the other room.

I'm looking at it all in a positive way though. Hoping that by getting up earlier we will get more things accomplished. We'll see how that goes. So far so good though. I've added a few new listings to my Etsy shop already and I'm also blogging right now. Hubby is out working on his old car he's restoring. He's been doing some body work to it here lately.

Well, I'm off to try and get some more things done before we head over to a friend's house for her daughter's 10th birthday. Yep, she was born ON the 4th of July so they are celebrating big today. I think her first birthday party was on the actual holiday and now so is the 10th one. I think all the other ones have just been done on a weekend before or after the holiday. With 10 being kind of like a milestone birthday they decided to do the whole red, white, and blue theme like they did for the 1st birthday. I'm sure it will be a whole lot of fun!

Hope everyone has a happy and safe day today! Happy 4th of July to all of you celebrating it!

Pointing Finger

I was working on the computer just a little while ago when my little boy came over to me kind of whiny and pointing his index finger out. Of course, my first thought was he some how got an owie and was wanting me to kiss it to make it all better.

I took hold of his hand and realized he was not whining because it hurt but was whining because there was a big ol' booger on it! Ewwww! Good thing I looked at it and didn't just decide to kiss it! Also a good thing that he brought it to me instead of wiping it on something or eating it! Oh, the joys of having children! Boogers and all! Some of you reading this can probably relate to this story can't ya?
