WHAT?!?!?!?!
I'm a little offended - ha-ha! (look at my avatar) Once he adjusts to being here, I think he might actually like the wide-open spaces. Does he like to fish or hunt?
Wahoooo...someone close who can check on my son!!! I'm a happy Momma now! Mind you this is a kid who HATES snow and he is in North Dekota. You guys get more snow than we do!
He loves to fish but we don't allow him to play with guns after he shot Mikie(the lil one in the gray shirt). We even took his water guns away!
Story time....
At one time, both the boys (bootsie and Mikie) were living with us, they were both 16 at the time. They took my 12yo DS's BB gun out to shoot sparrows. As a joke, I told them use caution and not shoot each other's eyes out(like Ralph in the movie). Away they went and occassionally I would here, "got one!"
They are outside goofing off and next time I know I hear the 4-wheel start up. Not a biggie, they were always zipping around on the thing so I went about my business of cleaning house. About 15 minutes later, I hear the 4 wheel's engine shut off and both boys come in the house and heard straight for the kitchen. Ok...teenagers...endless pits...fridge is full, so I figure they are raiding the fridge. Within a minute, out they come and Mikie has a fridge magnet stuck to his left eyebrow-literally hanging there-and says, "Mom, do you think this looks wierd?" I was like what in the heck are you doing and yes it looks dumb. Mikie and Bootsie crack up and say, "well, don't look under the magnet cause what we just did was really dumb." I walk over and take the magnet off Mikie's eyebrow and there is was a perfect lil hole. Yep, Bootsie shot Mikie with the B.B. Gun and just missed his eye by 1/2 inch!
Go to find out, they grew bored with just shooting sparrow and decided that one of them would ride around the house on the 4-wheeler and the other one would try shooting him in the butt. The plan worked perfectly well when Bootsie was riding the 4 wheeler...he was standing up and zipping around the house as Mikie tried and succeeded in shooting him in the butt. When it was Mikie's turn all was well until Mikie hit a bump, sat down so he could get a better balance on the 4 wheeler. The split second he sat down, Bootsie shot the B.B. gun and instead of the butt, he almost shot Mikies eye out.
Of course...it was all funny haha until I told them Mikie needed to go to the Hospital to get it removed. The laughter stopped and you could have heard a cricket! They tried squeezing it out but anyone knows the minute you poke a hole in skin the tissue around it swells up. It might of went in that hole but it definitely wasn't coming out that hole. I had to have DH come in and he made them call Mikie's parents and go to the hospital. So when Mikie calls his parents, he tells them a really short version...Bootsie accidently shot him and he needed to go to the hospital. Both boys loaded up and away they went to meet Mikie's parent at the hospital.
2 hours later, back they come laughing their butts off again. Of course they tell the story of Mikie laying there cutting jokes with the Nurses and Dr. until they come out with this HUGE needle--had to be 16 inches long--and pointing it towards Mikie face. Mikie goes white, Bootsie is forever saying "I'm sorry Mikie, I'm so sorry" over and over again then finally said, "but man am I glad it is you and not me by the size of that needle" as the Dr is putting it in!
And the story they told Mikie's parents-who to this day still think it is the truth-they were trying to be nice to me and since the birds were forever pooping on my truck they decided to shoot the birds. One of the birds landed on the swing set, Bootsie shot at it, missed and the B.B. ricoched off the swing set and hit Mikie. OMG..this was a B.B. gun not a pump pellet gun! But his parents bought it and they were off the hook.
As for DH and I, they were never allowed to play with any type a gun here again...Pellet, B.B., water gun, styrofoam dart gun, and no fingers making an imaginary gun.
Bootsie was sooooo excited about North Dekota-it has a firing range so he gets to shoot a gun. Heaven forbid! I really need to call his recuiter and tell him to make sure all the other young boys have football helmets because bootsie doesn't know the difference between a butt and a head hence the nickname DH call's him "BUTTHEAD"
Ohhh and MIkie finally did get shot in the butt----by the dr with a tetnus shot!
Please keep them coming. It can literally change my mood in a heartbeat
Can't wait 'til we get to the World!!! Am still making our shirts 
and requesting invite DISigns for our Ressies for the kids to adda little something special to the trip!
and getting ready for VBS (craft leader, double 
) for winter. The last few winters we haven't had much snow, but still horribly cold, but this last year made up for it. Right now the weather is absolutely perfect at 78 degrees so I hope he is enjoying it. 
I had a garage sale today and made $750! This goes in the Disney fund for a return trip hopefully the first week in December. I am oh, so crossing my fingers for free Dining either as a special promotion or by way of the Disney Visa.
