The Boys

One morning last week, before the girls were up, the boys got to thinking about heaven.
"Will there be any allergies in heaven?"
No!
"Then you won't be allergic to dogs?"  Growing excitement.
No!
"Then we can get a DOG in heaven!!!!"

It is my estimation, as a mother of two boys, that if you give a boy a ball of string he will entertain himself for hours.
If you don't give him one, he will find some, or something like string, somewhere and use it anyway.

He might thread it through his hat (do you see it?) as a safety line while he is jumping in the Atlantic to save his sister. 
Over and over and over again.
Right now there is string all over this house.  It's driving me crazy.  String tied to door knobs and chairs.  To belt loops and stair rails.
If you have a boy like mine, read him "A Big Ball of String."
He'll love it, and he'll get really busy when you're done.

Wow Lucy is growing up too fast! I think there is a story, or is it just folklore, about a boy who tied his tooth to a string and the string to a door and slammed the door to pull out his loose tooth.

funny how that came to my mind. I seem to always think of Jack and losing teeth, as he was when you lived here.
