Live and Learn

I called this entry Live and Learn because that is what we are on earth to do. I am finding that it happens everyday all day long. So, my entry this month is showing a few things that the we have learned this month.

Carter has been wearing a dress shirt to church for what, 8 years now? Well, this is what happens every Sunday morning. He comes upstairs and asks me to put his tie on. I always start laughing and tell him to look in the mirror. He looks and says "How did that happen?"

A few weeks ago he got a new sled. We have an area by our house that was named by all of the neighborhood kids "The PIT", this is an area that is meant to be a retention pond, but it is also a great biking area, roller blading area, sledding, bb gun shooting range and anything else you can think to do in a pit that is about 10 feet deep and 50 feet long. So, when Carter got the sled and said that he was going to go off the jumps down at the pit, and I told him that probably wouldn't be a good idea. Well, from the picture below you can tell that he decided to go off the jump.
He had scabs for a good week and insisted on wearing his coat with his hood on all during church so nobody would notice. Well, I hated to tell him that it probably draws attention to him. Buster hates clothes! As soon as we walk in the door, off come the clothes. Well this day, when I was down stairs he must have taken off the underwear, put it back on backwards a inside out, then decided that he needed a little extra "support" so he put on another pair over the top.
When he grow up, he wants to be a fireman, so he was practicing hitting the rock hard snow with a garden tool.
Buster has been saying quite a few funny things that make me laugh. Here are a few of them.


1. The other day we had a conversation as to why he couldn't take his underwear off and run around the house naked. He was so mad and he kept saying "Lamenites don't wear underwear"!!!

2.He just became a sunbeam and the other day when we got home from church is asked him what he learned about and he said "beans", I thought that was a little weird. Then he started singing "Jesus wants me for a "SunbeaN".

3.Paul was eating some food on our bed and Buster was sitting with him, then Buster sneezed and Paul said "Thanks for sneezing in my food", then Buster sneezed again and Paul said "Thanks for sneezing in my food", then Buster replied and he patted Paul on the back, "No problem dad".

4. The other night we were eating and we were having french dip, so I started to cut Busters hoagie bun is half and he started getting mad and yelling. I told him we couldn't put the roast beef inside if we didn't cut the bun, he didn't care. He told me to stop and then he said, "That's it, where is the tape".


I won't die young from a lack of laughter!
