Bee Stings & Tissue Paper

Part of our daily ROUTINE is to go swimming every morning at 10:00 am, while Brody & Brinkley are sleeping. This gets the boys out of the house & away from the TV. Carter was jumping off the waterfall, floaties and all (even though he doesn't need them), when he started SCREAMING. I thought he said an ANT was on him, turns out it was a BEE & it stung him twice in the foot. So that makes 3, three times he has been stung by a bee this week. Ouch!
He screamed like he was dying for a couple minutes, then he was fine. What a tough boy!
Later on that afternoon everything was QUIET, too QUIET & every mom with a toddler knows that is not good. I bounded upstairs to find this:
Brody had found my stash of tissue paper hidden under my bed.
He was having a blast.
When he saw me taking pics of him, he had to run over to try & grab the camera, yikes!

Hey! We missed you yesterday at Logan's party!! It was good to see Layne and the kids though. This post is so funny because I have totally already learned that when Logan is being quiet it means trouble!!
Hope things are going good with the new little one and everything else!

So cute Katie! Conner is having such a great time there with you guys! Thanks for being such a great aunt. He called today to tell me that he got to eat sour candy & ice cream when he spent the night. What a party! I love you tons!!
**I am going to look at your moms site, but I am wanting a cute little FHE assignment board. If she does them, maybe I can get her to send one back with Kathryn when she comes out here...

I just noticed that I was posting as Grant. I just have to clarify on his behalf that HE was not the one asking about how to fix a header...:>

Poor Carter! 3 times?! And Brody, so sweet! That actually looks a like a fun way to entertain a toddler (if you don't mind missing out on some tissue paper). You are such a cute Mom!

Kyle said...

Poor Carter...getting stung 3 times in a week. Ouchie!!! That is sooo funny that Brody got into your tissue paper. Good Boy Brody!! LOL! I'll have Logan come over and give him a few more lessons. So what are we doing this week?

Mel said...

Ok, now I really feel like a baby!! When I was stung on the foot by a bee I swear I couldn't walk normal for a week!! LOL

Brody is soooo cute. obtw im not sure if you go t my last msg or not but I have a new blog address it,s

Your kids are so dang cute. We live right by each other. We need to get together soon! =)

Unknown said...

Poor guy! Those are pretty painful...and as for the tissue paper. What else to keep a little guy busy. That is funny! Isn't it funny how we buy them toys and the simplest things are what are more fun...the things that are NOT toys. Too funny!

Linz said...

HA HA! That is too funny about Brody! I think that happens in our house all too often!! SO sad about Carter! He is a tough guy though!!!

Flaherty Fam said...

I can't believe Carter has been stung that many times...ouch!! Brody looks so cute in those pics and him and Bradock must be twins because that too is the stash Bradock loves to go for...tissue paper is so much more fun to play with than their toys.

Tim and Amy said...

such a cute new layout!

Mindful Mothering said...
