Fear

Last night Daniel got quite the shock when he went up to check on the boys. Connor was crying and saying ouch, so Daniel wanted to make sure he was ok. When Daniel opened the door, Connor was standing there, holding his mouth with what appeared to be blood all over his mouth and hands. Talk about fear!!

Of course Daniel freaked, and ran him into our bedroom where he could get a better look. Once in our room he realized that this "blood" was very odd colored. A sniff of Connor's hand revealed what the sticky substance really was. Our very sneaky children had somehow confiscated Daniel's hot wings. Well...yup, that would be an "ouch"!

I guess Connor and Evan had hid the box earlier in the day in preparation for bedtime. Clever really.

Daniel cleaned up their hands and faces, and I brought them up some milk to cool down their mouths. After a few drinks, they went back to bed, and we didnt hear from them for the rest of the night.

Since we are on the topic of fear, I will share Connor's biggest fear...snakes. I have NO idea where he has heard of snakes, or why he is afraid of them, but he is! At random times of the day, he will go "Momma I skeeered!".

"What are you scared of baby?"

"The snakes!"

Okkkk. Upon further questioning, he will usually say they are on the roof. One time, he said they were in the door and yet another time he said he ate the snake and it came out his toes. Yes, his toes. He has quite the imagination on him. I assure you, that there are no snakes in or around our house. I can only imagine he saw one on tv. Stupid TV.

Yesterday, while in church, I was trying to keep Connor quiet while the pastor prayed. I had my own quiet prayer with Connor to keep him occupied. In these prayers, we go through and thank God for various family members and/or objects. We listed mom,dad,grandma,grandpa, and several aunts and uncles when Connor piped up with...

"and thank you for the snakes"

*Sigh* Boys!
