Yesterday, a couple different times I was reminded of my words. First was reading this:
"A man of knowledge uses words with restraint,
and a man of understanding is even-tempered."
Proverbs 17:27
and a man of understanding is even-tempered."
Proverbs 17:27
Yep, pretty much a life verse for me now!
Then when AJ and I spent some time reading one of his favorite books of all time: Even More Body Parts, by Tedd Arnold. If you haven't read this book and you are a mom of boy(s)...it's a big hit!
My sweet AJ is my flower child. He brings me flowers often this time of year. Off the apple tree, the rhododendron bush, the neighbors' yard (just kidding Candyce!), etc. Today was especially sweet as I could hear all the "gang" (the 4 boys in our cul de sac) outside playing. It sounded like a battle going on with the sound effects and shouting. They have the best time together. Then all of a sudden, it was the sweetest moment to look up and see AJ running in with a flower and then back again to join the war. How priceless is that? All boy and still tender and thoughtful!
Okay, so give me your best idiom. Here's some for starters:
All eyes on me.
My nose is running.
I put my foot in my mouth.

I don't have any idioms, but those books are the best. My daughter and I laugh and laugh when we read them!

i LOVE that book and the one that came before it! it was a HGUE hit in my classroom and looked like it had been through a tornado by the time i stopped teaching. it was definetly a favorite among my second graders.
i know this saying is in the book but i use it a lot: you crace me up! (and friend, you certainly do!!!)
btw...meant to typle CRACK, not crace!
oh.my.goodness...do you see that, another typo..TYPLE? i'm sure you can guess when i meant to say. okay, i'm done commenting now, unless i have another error and need to correct myself AGAIN!

Who put a quarter in you?
Drank or swim like a fish.
Smells like a baby.
(That one really cracks me up.)
Someone told my 6 year old the other day that dandelions were weeds and that nobody liked them in their yard. As he brings me beautiful, bright bouquets of them all the time, I loudly announced, "but I LOVE them!" to save the day. I also love the sweaty, mashed up ones that I get out of my 3 year old's fist.
Do you use the term Charley Horse?- cause sometimes people don't know what I am talking about when I say that.
