Should these two things go together?

Like oil and water, some things just don't mix. That, in a nut shell, is how the past week has been around here. First on the list. . . RJ and a sling shot!

Should these two things ever be together? I would say they shouldn't be brought within a two mile radius of each other, and yet, so far (knock on wood) it works. RJ has been entertained for hours with his rocks and sling shot and we have yet to replace a window or rush to the Dr. for stitches in someones head. As long as we gather the rocks that land on the grass before we mow the lawn we are good. And we might have a scientific breakthrough on this one, these two just might be able to coexist!

Next on the list of "non mixers", boy's and pollywog's. At first, you may think these two things go hand in hand. Not if you are the polliwog. Those poor little things didn't stand a chance with RJ's desire to hold them instead of being content to just watch them swim around in the cup. And once RJ had his own little pet to carry around in his hand then a few others thought they needed a pet as well. This was at the Toquerville park. The kids had a great time catching frogs and pollywog's as well as getting wet. Here is a little video for Grandma's sake. There isn't a lot going on but you can here there voices and Tanner teasing his brothers which is always precious. Listen for Porter's little "rockin' n rollin" it was so cute.

The last thing on the list of non mixers is me and the sports arena. This last week was summer games. I put together a volleyball team and then I was invited to play on a basketball team. It was so much fun and I love every minute of being in the gym, yet I fear that it is getting closer to being one of those things that just shouldn't be put together. Our basketball team didn't win a single game. Although, it was never frustrating to me it was just fun to get together and play. Our Volleyball team did pretty good but that was a little more frustrating because we should have definitely come home with a medal and we ended up taking 4Th. I had told Kory Friday night that "for sure we will win a medal, we are one of the best teams there, yadda, yadda, yadda". I spoke too soon and we dropped a few games that we should have won. I hate that! I know we were really the better team but we just couldn't pull it all together.

And so because of my love for the game, I will continue to force the issue and keep playing (for another year at least). I don't have any pictures but that is probably for the best.

I just thought of one more non mixer that happened this week. Never mix your face head first down into the sprinkler box.

Once again, RJ, apparently the star of this post. He was standing on one of our big landscape rocks and fell headfirst into the sprinkler box. His tooth went all the way through his lip. I was afraid we were going to have to go have a stitch or two put in it but the band aid seemed to make it all better he was back outside running around 15 minutes after it happened.(And no he wasn't shooting his sling shot at the time). We have got to find some things that RJ will mix with before we give him a complex. Wow, that was a long post! sorry if that put you to sleep, it made me kinda tired too. Good night!
