The other day, the kids were goofing around outside while I watched from the porch.  Isaiah started using Sissy's car as a skateboard, pushing off and then hopping on for the ride.  

 Then, he started pulling some stunts...  a good mommy would have made sure he had a helmet on...

 watch out!

 crazy driver!!!

 Ladies and gentlemen, this is right before the fall...

He managed to walk away without a scrape, but he was hurting.  It's sometimes hard to find the balance as a mother of boys.  They live for adventure, and I certainly don't want to cause them to be afraid.  If they feel brave enough to tackle something, within reason, I don't want to talk them out of it.  They climb trees all the time and like to jump from the swings, the higher the better :)  With thorough angel protection, they have managed to steer clear of the emergency room for things like broken bones and stitches.  I consider that a pure miracle!
