The Lion and the Lamb





In this case it's the Knight and the Dragon. Here they are putting aside their differences and standing tall together in Unity:) The Dragon isn't blowing fire with it's mouth and the Knight isn't trying to "slay" the dragon. If I could liken this to everyday life. This was one of those moments in the day when the boys were getting along soooo well. Well, let's just say within a matter of minutes the Knight was trying to slay the Dragon and the Dragon was trying to burn the Knight with it's fiery breath!!!! Isn't it funny within a matter of minutes how things can change? It's hugging and then "I hate you." It's sharing and then throwing the object they just shared in a violent fit. It's play-fighting turn real-fighting turn play-fighting and thus the cycle continues. As I end this saga, I would like to throw in a tid-bit about ear canals. I dug a peanut M&M-size chunk of blue play dough out of Fisher's ear the other day. I was going to take a picture of it. But as my children were cleaning, they threw it away! The nerve of underage workers these days:) Fisher said he must have been itching his ear and had play dough on his finger. He won't give up the story, so it must have been a real BIG itch!!!

Absolutely hilarious! Play dough on his finger - yeah, right! Did I ever tell you about Melanie and the jelly bean up her nose that warranted a trip to the E.R.? Good times, I tell you.

I hate the cycle of I-love-you-I-am-going-to-kill-you-now. It drives me insane!

I actually think ear canals are a much unused little crevice. Think of the possibilities if we all used them as extra snack pockets. You could hid a few extra goodies during church and if the speaker was boring you could just leave the snack in there for ear plugs. By the way your children are beautiful. It's a good thing Lance married you! Just kidden' Lance your a hunk too.

Robbie~ You are hilarious! I can't get on your blog anymore? What's up? Mellissa, Jelly bean eh? Melanie? But I thought she was close to perfection? Did anyone eat it when it was out? I am glad these crevices, for the most part are unused! They are tricky little things to get goodies out of!
