notes to self...

(if you'd like to read my more serious and endearing post about Caleb's Bible click here)

1. Do not leave a full bag of thatch (yard grass) near the deck during daytime hours.

2. Do not allow two boys, pictured below, to leave the kitchen and play freely in the backyard.

3. Always check on the two above named boys when they have:

•   been outside for longer than twenty minutes without fighting
•   been outside for longer than twenty minutes without coming in to use the bathroom.

4. When arriving back outside after all of the above notes have NOT been followed do NOT be surprised to find the entire bag of thatch strewn around the yard.

5. Remember that one person's grass (and thatch) is the next person, I mean child's, treasure.

6. Reread one's own post titled so thankful for those spills so that perspective can be regained.

7. Post on blogger so all the blogging buddies know that this blogger's life is far from perfect! (and normal)

Ha ha ha........
