The Left-Armed Skill of Your Local Superhero

So it's Wednesday, Bible study night for our family and a couple other families from our church. After a wonderful night of studying the Bible, having fellowship with others, and playing a fun game of duck duck goose (ages 1-22), I headed home driving a minivan full of three energetic young'ins. (I was helping out a family from church). By the time the 30 minute drive was over, all three kiddos had fallen fast asleep in their seats. Score!!!



Anyways, as I parked the car and turned it off, the two older boys immediately awoke, unbuckled themselves and hopped out onto the driveway. I looked into the back seat and saw the 4 year-old fast asleep in his booster-seat, head drooping to his chest. His cuteness touched my heart, and I decided to carry him inside and gently place him in his bed.

Being that my right arm was full of bags/supplies, I skillfully unbuckled him with my left hand, and then with utmost precision and poise slung him over my left shoulder like a limp sack of potatoes. (Wait! did that make sense???! Oh, whatever... you get the point ;)

I got inside, (he was still asleep by the way), took off my shoes, and made it all the way into his bedroom without waking him. (and I was carrying him with my LEFT arm! I am so good).

Oh no! I had reached a dilemma! Little did I know, the room was shared by all three boys, and their were three beds to choose from. I placed all my bags and belongings on the desk, and turned to gaze at the beds, hoping, with all my heart, that this 4 year-old's bed was not the top bunk. (I am not trained in the skill of placing sleeping children in top bunks yet).

Anyways, I as I looked around the room studying the beds, I said to myself softly... "I wonder which one is his bed???"

Then, in my left ear, I heard a little voice say:















"That one's my bed"

ARE YOU SERIOUS! he was awake the WHOLE TIME!







...my left arm better not be sore tomorrow :/

My Opinion: Pinterest

Rating: 21/10

"What! No! you can't, you can't do that. Nope, you cannot have that high of a rating for something."

-Well, let me tell you... yes I can... unfortunately, a new thing has overtaken my life, my thoughts, my activities. Pinterest.

"Oh so that explains why you haven't posted anything on your blogs, hu?"

-Shhhhhh no. that's not it at all (just kidding, it really is) and I'm sorry.

-OK, so lets get into the rating system and why I've rated this website: Pinterest, so highly.

Pinterest is like an online pinboard onto which you can "pin" or save anything you pretty much can find online. If you are looking for a recipe  you can find it on Pinterest. If you are looking for new clothes, you can find cute ideas on Pinterest. If you want to do a craft, you can find ideas on Pinterest. If you need to plan a wedding, you can do it on Pinterest. If you want to laugh, go to the (Humor) section of Pinterest.

Pretty much, Pinterest is a huge time waster, and incredibly addictive, but it makes you happy, creative, crafty, inspires you to be skinny and cook a lot all at the same time!

Some people say that Pinterest was created by the men so that their wives start cooking more, cleaning, decorating the house, and workout a whole lot. I may just believe that to be true. But don't lose hope men... there are hundreds upon hundreds of things for the men to look at and do on Pinterest, such as... oh I don't know, nevermind.

Anyways, I suggest you all go make yourself a Pinterest account, and follow me:

Have fun!!! Happy Pinning :)
