Any of you trying, unsuccessfully, with lots of medicine, raising a bunch of hoodlums, boys know that a big hole full of water just won't do on a hot summer afternoon. Boys must come up with some type of drowning device, water slide, or sling to catapult themselves and their friends into the pool.
While visiting a friend's house a few days ago (yep, the same one with the lightening struck tree) I took these pictures of the boys.
All are mine except one.
There are times as a mom you just have to pray no one ends up in the emergency room and let go. At times like these all I can do is take pictures and hold my breath.
These nice floats are supposed to be used for relaxation, contemplating life, or napping peacefully........
Yet boys must find different purposes for such peaceful things.......
"Let's make a slip and slide and use the dog bowl to throw water on every one as they slide down the slide"......
"There's not enough water so let's get the hose out and use that to make the already slick surface a little more dangerous!"
"Now let's arrange the floats so we can launch ourselves from as far away as humanly possible."
"Yea! I think we got it right now!"
As my three year old daughter and I were walking yesterday I noticed that my neighbor (who has 3 teenage or above children) had these in his driveway, parked in front of the house or parked beside the house. I got the biggest chuckle thinking, "You know you live in SC when your neighbor has 4 of these in his yard and no one's home."
Number one
Number Two
Number three
(this one's for pulling the camper)
Number four
(this ones for 'coon huntin')

Here's my Freaky Friday Foto as promised! Is that cardinal crazy or what? This is the launch prior to slamming into my bedroom glass door. See my post below for more pictures and the entire story of psycho-cardinal.
God is unpredictable but consistent. You may not be able to tell what he is doing or why but you can always trust in WHO HE IS. He has your very best interests at heart. He is good. He is God.
