My child...

This is some kind of record for me. It has only been 8 days since my last post! Wow, yay me! Enough of that. On to the more pressing issues. Mason got to go to an indoor water park Sunday afternoon!!!
He had a blast! It was pretty stinkin' cool if I do say so myself. I'm sorry, but this is the only still shot we got of him. His smile was plastered on though, ear to ear! The boy in the blue towel is in Mason's class and invited he and the boy in the green towel to the party. Coolest birthday party ever!!!
Well, after the chlorine quit burning our eyes and nostrils, we headed home. This brings us to "my child." He had his Christmas program at school Tuesday night. After much lecturing, he agreed that it was good to stand up tall, sing loud, and mind the teacher. Very clear...right? My child was the one...you know, the one...that turned around backwards the whole time, looking at what was going on behind him. Then when it was time to sing, he leaned over the railing and looked all around. His friends...the ones from the water park...tried to talk him down, but no, he was determined. His mama went the front row to lay down the law...he smiled real big and turned back around. What am I going to do with this guy? He is something else.

This picture doesn't do his misbehavior justice. He is much better at it that what his reflected here! And that brings us to the next picture. I must say, it is of my own doing...maybe...karma, as "Ed" would say. I told Amber about two weeks ago that we don't need the plastic things in our plugs anymore. Mason is big enough and not going to stick anything in them, Anslee is too small to and we will be hopefully moving before she is big enough. This is what I found when we came home from the musical.Let's take this in order, shall we:
#1 This should be an advertisement for the plastic "thingies" that are in the receptacle above the fork lift. Maybe my child is a marketing genius?
#2 If you were interested in sticking a set of fork lift forks in an electrical outlet, of the three combinations of holes to stick them in, this one is the only one that will not give you a shock. Maybe my child is an electrical genius?
#3 Finally, and thank God, the people that make tiny grey, red, and black fork lifts know to make the forks on a tiny fork lift plastic, because a child like mine is going to stick them in a wall socket!!!
I hope you have an electrifying day!

That is so creative, Mason! Dangerous, terrifying, and shocking (no pun intended)... but creative. Way to go, I guess.

sooo funny....your kids bring such joy to everyone even if there is a little misbehaving going on.

I am so glad you had my child and went ahead and got that out of the way!!! :)

Oh boy... aren't boys FUN?!

Love the "musical" photos. Enjoy the 'child' in him now, because all too soon, he'll be "leading" instead of "distracting" and you'll miss these innocent days of hilarious-ness. (I know - not a word!)

PS - The Karma comes from "Earl", not "Ed". =0)
