Tony (who is always very appreciative and more than makes up for days like this) later realized Maggie (our dog) was scratching her ears a lot...She needed to go to the Dr. I got my full cardio workout yesterday when I took our 65 pound dog, our 55 pound son and our 46 pound other son to the vet. Where for some reason they put us in what felt like a small closet to wait for the vet for over an hour. The nurse was kind enough to give the boys both huge blow pops...Which meant their faces and hands were coated in stickiness and dog hair. Between my claustrophobia and my kid's faces coated in dog fur I felt a bit nauseated. I think there have been very few times in Tony's and I's marriage where I have called him and said "never again"...Yesterday it happened twice. We laughed a lot about it last night.
To answer the questions of whether or not that elk will hang in our home...Nope. He is getting a European mount and I think I have thought of a great place for it...stay tuned for whether T agrees or not.
***My mom returns tomorrow after 5 1/2 weeks of working in Russia encouraging and teaching many about the Lord. We have missed her so much.
***Our churches annual hot dog banquet was this past Sunday night. This is a missions dinner put on by the kids where the kids lead prayers over our missionairies, interview them, etc...It is a great experience. Both our boys carried flags in the parade of nations and then sang in the hot dog choir...They did great. Benjamin, who was in the front row, hopped down off the stage during the middle of the song to bring me something he had just pulled out of his nose. He then went right back, climbed up on the stage and rejoined the song. It was certainly a moment to remember. Here are some pictures.
BOTH BOYS WITH THEIR HANDS BEHIND THEIR BACKS? THIS NEVER HAPPENS! I tried to remind them that they knew how to do this yesterday at the vet...they both looked at me like they had no idea what I was talking about...

So cute! You are a great wife! I don't think I could have handled the elk situation! :)
I just put a video of the choir preformance on my blog... you hear Benj in the middle of the song announcing that he "has something for you!" That boy cracks me up!
Love you!

OH my word. Please please give yourself permission to join the throngs of wives who have chosen to say, sweetly, "No dear. I love you, but no." That has got to rank in there as one of those "you shoot it, you cart it around" kind of things, don't ya think?? Oh that made me laugh, though!!!
I have memories of Dad bringing home his deers, hanging them up in the back yard to skin (which my SISTER used to love to help with), then bringing in chunks of the animal to chop up (on the kitchen table) and put in wrappers for the freezer . . .then would expect me to partake of the deer steak that night at dinner. I said no. Scarred for life, I was.
I don't think it's possible to read your blog without laughing out loud! I love it!
OH our men are so much a like. I could very much see Mr. Head expecting me to do the same. I am thankful his taxiderm man is about an hour away. Do to the distance Aric takes his own dead animals. I will never tell him about what you did. It would give him too many ideas.
How funny your little man picked his nose and brought you his prize. Little boys always love their mom best.
Hilarious! I don't do vet trips with our 95lb. dog and our two kids either! Now I really don't want to!
Becky I always laugh out loud when reading your posts! You are a better wife than I girl!
Love you!

I can not stop laughing at your first paragraph. You deserve some serious wife points. Love it.
Wow...serious "Wife of the Year" nomination for that one. I'm impressed.
LOVE the story of the nose suprise!
With the kind of gag reflex I have, reading this almost caused it to act up. YOu are such a great example of a great mom and wife. Love your boys and all their fun stories. Love the picture of their hands behind their back :)
Oh Becky! That is too funny!
You are the woman!! Dead animals and nose surprises! yuck! I love reading your blog because I always get a good laugh!
Hey sweet girl! It's been awhile since I've seen you at Target! We should make a date to meet there sometime at the Starbucks. :) I've enjoyed catching up through your fun blog - it's never a dull moment with boys, huh?
Blessings to you, sweet friend!
Love,
Julie
