Build a plane…sure?

prettyboyblueEver since I made my son a cape he is under the impression that his father and I can make him anything he wants.

An airplane with wings that he can fly in, sure why not? What’s that son? Oh, pretend to fly in.

Then he adds on that it need to have buttons and levers and flames.

Me: Flames?

My boy: not REAL flames, just pretend.

Oh, okay…with my painting ability fake ones don’t seem that much easier.

The funny part is that he keeps adding to the list but he always makes sure to tell you what order he wants it all in.

I am thinking the day is fast approaching that my son is going to see that his parents have limitations!

Like when he asks for a functioning airplane to fly to Minnesota…

Maybe by then we could just buy him one?

History

Western Minnesota Steam Threshers Reunion

I got a chance to go to this event while in Minnesota this past month and I loved it!

I have always loved history. I love to hold old books and think about where they have been and what they have seen! Old house make me feel nostalgic and sad at the same time. Anything to do with history is interesting to me, okay well as long as I am interested in it…

I am odd.

This event was awesome! The smells, the sounds, all I had to do was close my eyes and I was stepping back in time to a logging town a hundred years ago.

I have full intentions of homeschooling my two boys and this is what I want history to be to them! Alive, loud, real!

It changes everything for me when  I actually see something I have only read about. To actually see a battlefield, you can almost feel the fear and the desire to live.

Go out and taste some history.
