Boys Will Be Boys

Yesterday was Miss Emma's B-day so we were off to G-town. for the day. The birthday celebration was pretty normal for six year old. Lots of cake, presents, and girly things going on. The trouble started when her brother (aka the Rabbit Wrangler) and his friend decided to throw a ball around in the living room. Boys and balls inside the house are a recipe for a disaster. It didn't take too long before we heard the crash and the call for Mom. They had managed to knock off the hot wax scent candle. Not really a candle but a electric ceramic bowl that melts the wax. Now think burgundy colored wax all over the table, lamp, wall, and the carpet. Now invision the resulting chaos that ensued. To her credit his mother didn't skin the Rabbit Wrangler alive. While all this was going on Miss Emma managed to spill her school project on the family room carpet. No wax, just some greenish liquid that went everywhere on the light colored carpet. So the Nurse and I worked on that problem while Mom went on the Internet to find out how to get wax out of carpeting. Fortunately all seemed to end well with the cleanup completed before my son got home. The best part was that my father (The Patriarch), who come along for the day, just sat there with a big grin. I think he'd seen this all before. See ya at lunch.
