Crazy Stuff Kids Do… {Vol. #1}

Filed Under: Family

First of all today is my mom’s birthday. Happy Birthday Mom!! I love you, you are such an awesome mom. Thanks for everything you do for the boys & I. Hope you have a great day!

We have been having some GORGEOUS weather. Well gorgeous for January, highs in the mid 50s and 60s.  The boys are really enjoying playing and swinging outside.

I do have a story to share about Dustyn. He has a problem with keeping his gum in his mouth. Well the other day he decided he would out gum all over his tummy, legs and neither regions. I had to get it off and he was not happy about that. I am sure it did not feel good. I tried peanut butter, vaseline, ice and finally baby oil. It took all of those and a hot bath to get it off. I am praying that he learned his lesson and will never do that again. I am going to start this as a series because I am sure this will not be the last crazy thing the boys will do.

Linking up with This or That Thursday

    I LOVE this photos! They are so great. Cute little guys. Isn't it amazing the trouble little boys can get into. We have had some mild weather too and are loving it. I keep thinking any time now we are going to get dumped with a HUGE snowstorm...in March. I sure hope not!

    Oh geez, gum in the nether regions?! FUN. Love to see your sweet boys playing together. It reminds me of my guys when they were little! They're still best friends to this day, and just have a wonderful relationship. So lucky! :-) Beautiful pics! xoxo

    I am very lucky that my son was never one to do stuff like that. Although it has me a little worried as we head in to the teen age years! Poor kid. I remember getting gum stuck in my hair: not fun.

    I'm thinking after that experience he's learnt a lesson - don't you love it when challenges such as this are added to your day when you get to spend time, that you don't have, doing extra chores!
  16. Gina says

    January 26, 2012 at 10:09 am

    I am cracking up at this story!!!! That is an AWESOME shot of Dustyn I must say- perfect!

    Oh dear...gum! I'm still waiting for the day I have to cut it out of hair or something. Luckily, my oldest doesn't care for gum, but Sienna LOVES gum! Well - I'm glad you finnnnaaallly got it out! These pictures are lovely in black and white by the way. love, Shannon

  20. Erica says

    January 26, 2012 at 8:46 am

    Oh goodness, gum all over the body?! I can only imagine the reaction I'd have to that. I hope he didn't get it in his hair :/ Your boys are just too precious in the swings. We are having nice warm weather, too, and we've spent A LOT of time at the park!
  21. Nancy says

    January 26, 2012 at 8:00 am

    Haha! Well, I'm sure it wasn't very funny at the time, but it is now. Poor Dustyn! Maybe he learned a lesson? We can only hope, right? :)

    Happy Birthday to your mom! :D I'm sure gum isn't pleasant in the nether regions. ;) I've never had to deal with that.. we just don't chew gum.

July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny July was an amazing month for the most part. Kenny and I celebrated being married 18 years in the mountains, and the kids had a lot of Summer fun. Unfortunately we did lose Kenny’s step dad, the kids Grampy, Billy. I’m so glad I decided to do project 365 again this year. I really do love looking back on all the photos, even if most are taken with my phone. Just want to take more photos of the kids with family members.
