Another Boys Room Dilemma

Today has been a wasted day spent solely on my 3 sons bedroom.  On saturday, Larry bought a pair of dressers.  A much needed piece of furniture in the boys bedroom.  For the last year and a half, I have neatly piled all of their clothing onto 5 shelves of an old bookcase.  It was hard to keep this looking good when 3 pairs of hands were constantly pulling things off.  

So today, I thought it was going to be a simple day.  Merely me taking the clothes off the book case and putting them neatly into the new dressers.  WRONG!  I should have known my boys would have other plans.  They had glue, scribbling and etchings on the walls that I had the opportunity to scrub off.  After that, I found chicken bones, wild onions, and empty hershey wrappers hidden throughout the room.  Boy have these kids been having a party.

I have no pictures to share, just the visualizations from my words.  Mainly I did not take pictures because I refuse to finish cleaning their bedroom. There comes a point when they have to learn to do it on their own.  Last month, I spent 2 days cleaning up their bedroom.  I told them, I would never do that again and yet here I am a month later.  So, I am having to control myself and just do what I set out to do.  And that is neatly putting clothes into their new dressers.

Good for you! If my mother hadn't made me clean my own room I don't think I would have ever learned, how to do it.

Although, when I was younger she did supervise to make sure every nook and cranny was explored and de-junkified! Have fun!

Apple Festival

OK,  I was too excited to wait on this new post.  We went to the Hendersonville Apple Festival this afternoon.  We have lived here 2 years and this was our first time going.  It was fun.  People had their crafts for sale and of course, lots of apples.  Anyways, center stage, a band was performing old rock n roll music.  We stopped to take a break and enjoy ice cream.  While sitting there, a square dancer asked Larry Denzil to be her partner in the square dancing routine.  Talk about a laugh, I hope you guys enjoy the pictures.  Did I forget to mention that the Hurts were in for a visit? Ok, here is Larry Denzil having a great time square dancing. I think he has found his true calling. Here is little Larry relaxing during the bands gig. Here is Larry Denzil and the little old lady who asked him to be her partner.  Poor thing, I do not think she read the back of his shirt.  He had the number  7 and at the top it said Baby Maker.  This was his work soft ball shirt. He is actually enjoying...

Scary Moment

Last night we had a bit of a scare in our house.  I was making dinner for the missionaries.  No my dinner was not scary!  I was making a pre-holiday meal, ham and the whole nine yards.  I had purchased fresh cranberries to make cranberry sauce.  Larry and I do not like cranberries but all of my kids do.  Ruby was anxiously waiting to eat and was dancing around in our small busy kitchen trying to help me.  To scoot her along, I gave her a fresh cranberry to nibble on. Less than 5 minutes later she began crying.  Larry had just gotten home so I thought she just wanted him to pick her up.  He did and she kept crying and holding her mouth.  He thought maybe she was teething, but those pesky 2 year molars came early.  I was stressed making the meal, I did not have time for tears.  But Larry would not stop crying about Ruby.  Just kidding. He was freaking out and her crying was uncontrollable so I checked on her.  Her lower lip had completely swollen up.  This was our first experience with a...
