But I thought it would work!

 But I thought it would work! 


This is a phrase we hear often from Silas.  He is a thinker.  When he sees something, he wants to figure out its full potential.


The most recent item was Evelyn's dollar store flashlight.  Silas had seen his Daddy use a flashlight under water, so of course he wanted to see if Evelyn's would do that too.

You know the old adage, "You get what you pay for"?  Her flashlight did come from the Dollar store ya know.

Here's a quick pick of Todd explaining to Silas why it........ummmm.......didn't work so well.

Tape comes in handy

The kids had  been outside with their daddy while he was working on some things around the house. Avrie came to us before bed and said her fingers hurt and that they were sparkly.  She really wasn't too upset about being sparkly. (Sparkly seems to be a word that comes up more and more often here.) 

Simply put:

  Sparkles = Good              Pain = Bad   

We finally figured out that she had touched some fiberglass that Todd had been cutting and gotten small shards in her hands.  Daddy to the rescue!  Todd put tape on her hands and it pulled the shards right out.

Being the smart little girl that she is, Avrie was not at all upset that her hands were no longer sparkly.


Have a blessed day! ~Tammy
