Unexplored Territory

Guess what I missed last night?

I came home from teaching, and I was greeted at the door by the Man. He was all excited about something, but he didn't tell me anything. Then I hear this voice from the girls' room ... Tell Mommy what you did tonight!

Mommy! I rode a two-wheeler tonight!!!!

You DID!?!?!??! Oh ... I wish I could have seen it!

Ace told me that he took about 2 minutes of instruction from them, and then boom. He's off and riding a bike.

A banana seat bike, but a bike nonetheless. Now we need to get him a new bike. One that doesn't knock his knees into the handlebar every time he pumps his legs.

Ah ... I can see the injuries of summer lighting on this house like flies on honey.

But ... he has his rules:

I'm a mom of three peeps ... Queen Bee, The Door Man, and the Chandelier Monkey, and wife to Ace, the Helpful Hardware Man. I created this space to get away from the people known as my inlaws, and because life with three kids and a hubby is all Unexplored Territory.

The nine-year-old who seems to be growing older every minute, has an opinion and a comment for everything, and has a true servant's heart.

The seven-year-old who loves the organization of things, will someday be someone's therapist because of his kind soul, and will more than likely be living with us until he is 40 years old.

The five-year-old with the 13-year-old attitude, who has a dictator's personality, asks you to watch her all the time and say "hold on" to keep your attention, and will someday come home on the back of some dude's motorcycle with 10 tatts and a body piercing or two.

The man of the house, the fixer of things, the winner of prizes, and the only person in his family to escape the South.
