Thoughts on Pumpkin Helmet

Pumpkin helmet is definitely growing up! Isn't he handsome?

I was multi-tasking as I wrote this post and therefore left the computer often. One time I came back to discover the following addition courtesy of my boy (now everyone in my family has contributed to my blog):

I must say he is probablly the best looking person i have ever seen i am having to fight off the girls left and right. I tell him he doesnt have to work to hard in school because it is going to be easy to get a really good job just based off his incredibly good looks only one in a million can be this lucky.

It's a good thing he's got confidence, because spelling and grammar are not in his favor! Tonight we discovered something else, in addition to spelling & grammar, that he's really not very good at, in fact he's really bad at it...Pictionary. We were all pretty thrilled to have a night at home and good eats, so we kept the fun going with a rousing family game...boys against the girls. The men took an early lead and of course began to crow. However, the saying, "Pride goeth before a fall" was very apropos, because they sure did goeth down!

Scott & Johnny were just not on the same wavelength--and a common wavelength is VERY important in Pictionary. Scott mocked Johnny's drawings and Johnny often could not acurately interpret Scott's art work. And then to make matters worse, Johnny went brain-dead in the reading department. He thought "colon" read "cologne". It made for a nicer picture but it didn't help their team much. In general, Scott was justified in mocking Johnny's drawings. However, I think an examination of Scott's version of "belly flop" will show that there was blame to go around! Any wonder the girls owned this game?

It's okay Pumpkin Helmet -- Pictionary will probably not be required for either your job, or your magnetic chick appeal.
