So I realize that it's been a reeeeeaaaalllllly long time since I've posted anything, and I have pictures backlogged for months, but FHE last night has surpassed all photos and excitement and vied for the top spot. I just have to write about it because it felt like an out-of-body experience....
Let's start with a small story...Spencer had been trimming the bushed on the side of the house nearest my bedroom window and he came in and said "Boy, those cats have really decided to make that area a litter-box. It really stinks like poo over there!" Nothing more was said or done for about a week.
Yesterday I was walking past said bedroom and saw one of our children (who shall remain nameless but who should be old enough to know better) squatting down behind the bushes. Silly me, I knocked on the window to ask him what he was doing and all I saw was a flash of moonlight as he ran away very fast. Hmmm, curiouser and curiouser. I told Spencer what I had seen (or thought I had seen, because honestly I thought I was just making it up), and he went out to investigate. Would you like to know how many 'deposits' had been made behind those bushes by my bedroom?? Well, I'm not going to give an exact number, but it was more than one, and by more than one child.
So this is how we get to Family Home Evening. How many families do you know that have to have a lesson on disposing of poo whilst in the wilderness? Is it just my weird, crazy, twisted children?? We even got to watch two videos that Spencer found on the internet about how to safely and properly dispose of said poo. I thought I was going to die! I would have never guessed that we would ever have to have a lesson like this. Perhaps because I'm a girl and I really love flush toilets!
But just so everyone knows that it is now safe to visit our home, the children know that our yard does not count as a wilderness, and there is a bathroom just a few feet away for their personal use.
And ending on that high note, summer vacation started today. Yahoo! Just in case we weren't haven't enough fun as it is...
