The favorite phrase was about throwing the turtle in the fire and "when the shell splits its done. I can say for certain that this one tastes like chicken."

I am seeing my 4 yo becoming more and more boy every day. Of course, he was always a boy but his inner adventurer has been latent until now. Oh my goodness, that is hilarious!

I had so much fun with this one. I have 4 sons ages 8, 5, 3 and 5 months. They keep life interesting around here! I took my 5 year old to the doctor one time on sort of an emergency. I knew he needed medical attention and scooped him up and went straight into the doctor. He has been playing out in the dirt with his tonka trucks and other brothers. While at the doctors office I listened to a long lecture about his nails being dirty and what playing in the dirt could do to him! I just sat there speechless...wondering when we started going so downhill trying to strip masculinity from our boys!? Your post was so refreshing. I find so much joy in the way God designed boys...they will forever keep me way too busy to leave any time for self. Blessings! I just love your blog! I had so much fun with this one.
