We had a fast and busy summer. I savored every minute of it.
Now I'm ready for a great and probably busy Fall.
Today is beautiful simply because God made it!!
Yeah, I haven't blogged lately about Boonie Butt. If you think it's because I don't have anything to blog about, well you're wrong. Let's see ... there was last year right before school was out. The cafeteria lady told Boone to sit down and be quiet. He responded "I don't have to. My Dad is president of the school board, and he will fire you." His Dad took him to school and made him not only apologize, but made him work all week in the cafeteria all week on his recess. He told Boone, that lady you thought you could fire is your boss, and you're going to do whatever she tells you to. I do think he was a little embarrassed. One teacher told me when she asked him why he was working in the cafeteria he dropped his head and said he wasn't supposed to talk about it. Sigh...
If you think he is a big brat, you would be wrong about that too. Even the cafeteria lady ended up feeling sorry for Boone and acted like his Dad was being too hard on him! He may pull some stunts, but he doesn't get off easy when he does. And he can be the sweetest and most helpful boy. Women, especially his teachers, actually love Boone. The first day of school this year, I figured Boone would visit with one of his favorite former teachers.
Me: "Did you get to see Mrs. ?"
Boone: "Yeah."
Me: "Did you go find her?"
Boone: "No. She found me."
I didn't know if Boone could really top the cafeteria episode. He did, but he didn't do it at school! Thank the Lord!! But when we told Boone's principal what he had done (he's our neighbor) he said to put a gag order on Boone! He said if Boone goes to school bragging about it every 5th grade boy in the school will be trying it.
So...what did he do? Let's just say it is SO bad I'm not going to blog it! Maybe I will in about ten years - after the statute of limitations has run - LOL!
When he pulled this "last stunt"....
Lael (talking to me): "This is your fault. You spoil him!!"
Me: "SAY WHAT?!?!?"
Mike (just to make Lael mad): "No Lael, this is your fault!"
LOL Maybe it's just Boone's fault.
But sometimes Boone just makes me laugh out loud. Like this morning. Boone broke a school rule. But, because I don't like the rule much myself, I didn't say much.
Boone: "They didn't see what what I did yesterday. I'm going to try it again today."
Me (as Boone is pulling a dirty glass out of the dishwasher): "Boone those dishes in the dishwasher are dirty."
Boone: "I know. I do it all the time."
Me: "Hmmm. That's one way to do less dishes."
And Stafan praying. And Boone not. LOL
Oh Dolly! You just had to go there. You just had to make it political like the rest of them. Yeah, I know you didn't actually say anything, but you stood there smiling while your elitist Hollywood buddies "lectured" us. And haven't you ever heard keeping silent "IS" making a statement? But you knew that didn't you? Now I know how Mike felt when Bruce Springsteen became more interested in preaching politics at his fans than singing to them. Sigh...
So the kids think it is really, really cool when they get in free at the football games, because their Dad is president of the school board. BTW, Franklin Graham says more Christians should be running for school board.
Last week was National Prayer at the Pole Day. I dropped the kids off at 7:15 am.
And nothing is impossible with you!
"If you can?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for one who believes."
Mark 9:23
