Boys!!!

   I don't know why but this popped into my head and I had to share it with you all.  It happened probably 5 or 6 years ago.  I was at my girlfriend Deb's house and at that time I had 3 boys and she had 4 probably ages 8 and under.  Our boys get along very well and it was a lovely spring day, warm enough to send the kids outside but cool enough for us to stay in with the littles.  We were at her kitchen table having coffee and we could hear the boys but they were just out of sight.  As we were sitting blissfully chatting we started seeing things flying through the air.  We realized right away that they were launching things off their teeter-toter.  At first we saw little things like gloves and sand box toys go flying.  They were of course putting objects on one end and then jumping on the other to send it flying.  We laughed how that was total boy and kept on talking.  After awhile the things got bigger and bigger. After about 15 minutes we saw a little chair like this one go flying through air...



     It sailed through the air maybe two times and we were both just saying out loud that we should tell them to cut it out before the chair breaks when we both had the same thought.... at the same time.... our eyes got huge and we both leaped from the table and sprinted for the door.  Sure enough there sat one innocent little brother sitting in the red chair smiling and trusting while two big boys were getting ready to leap!





   I'm pretty sure it was Alex's life we saved that day.  It still cracks me up when I think about it.  Only mom's with so many boys would have the opportunity to save a child from an event like that!  Oh they keep me alive and happy... on the brink of insanity, but so happy!
