Park Play & experiment

A child is a curly dimpled lunatic. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

So, the season of PARKing is among us. Ben had aboslutely NO FEAR at all to Climb and step forth onto Huge uncharted structures. While at the park ,A GIANT bumble bee landed on this kid's hand and he didn't care (I was freaking out just a tad). Well, he did have one fear, one big fear...I knew about this fear from last year and I was wondering if he out grew it...but...no...not at all...Benjamin quite does not like: THE SWINGS. He cried like a maniac at first push. I took him out and he ran for the tallest tower....

I must talk about my recent "husband experiment" . Whenever Noah goes into the basement ( a cellar that we do not use too often), he quite often leaves a few of the lights on down there (pull strings from the ceiling). He comes up and never returns to shut them off, so I always wind up going down there amongst the cobwebs and shutting them off for him. It is quite obvious if there are lights on from the top of the stairs... anyway he has done this once again recently and I told myself this time, lets see if he decides to ever go back down and shut them off. It is hard for me to just let them stay on (I am a close the cabinet, push the chair in type of girl), but I made myself...well let me tell you that 4 days later (I am not exaggerating) the lights were still on. Day, night, day, night, day, night, day, night...I couldn't take it anymore and I finally gave in and shut them off. (ever see the episode of everyone loves Raymond in which Debra nor Raymond would move the suitcase from the stairs?). So, anyway results prove to be as I did not hope, but as I suspected they would be. It really shouldn't surprise me coming from the same test subject who left laundry hanging on the clothesline for 7 days while I was on a trip in Las Vegas. (I couldn't take the laundry down before I left because it was still wet...I returned home , one week later to see the laundry still waiting for me) Oh wait, I think he might of took one shirt down...because he needed it. LOVELY.
