The "Man" WIth The Yellow Hat.

Maybe this would be better titled, "The Monkey who stole the Yellow Hat". A picture is worth a thousand words, right? So, today will be my thousand word day in pictures.

 The true owner of the yellow hat, Mr. Paddington Bear.

 

This past week was quite busy, and then this week-end Hubby went to paint ball retreat. He managed to secure two welts~ its a rite of passage I hear. I have to share with you a  poem written by our friend, Nate Becker, aimed at my dear Husband.



 AN ODE THE MY VEST

I am Jay and I'm the Best.
That's because I wear a Vest.
To protect me front and back.
... From a vicious paint ball attack.
I wear a vest though thought "un-cool"
I wear a vest because I'm not a fool.
I'll wear my vest out to the Land.
I'll wear a vest wherever I can.
If I can wear it while we eat...
I'll even wear it in my sleep.
I'll put it on while on the Bus.
For wearing a vest is a must.
While paintballs hurt all the rest.
I'll be safe here in my vest.
The sting! The zing! The SNAP! The Pow!
I can almost feel those paintballs now.
Oh wait I can't! I must protest!
It must be these 3 sweatshirts and this leather vest.
My VEST My VEST! It's saved the day!
My vest is BEST I have to say!
Could anything be better? - now let me think...
OH YES OH YES!!! - If my Vest was PINK!

- Written by Nathan Becker on the eve of the Fall Paintball Retreat! " See you out there Pastor Jay!

The retort:

AN ODE ABOUT THE PINK VEST

I DO NOT LIKE PINK VESTS I SAY,
BUT NATE BECKER WEARS ONE EVERY DAY!
I WILL NOT WEAR ONE HERE OR THERE.
... I WILL NOT WEAR ONE ANYWHERE.
I DO NOT LIKE PINK VESTS I SAY.
I DO NOT LIKE THEM ANY DAY.

I DO NOT LIKE PINK VESTS- ITS TRUE
WOULD I EVER LIE TO YOU?
I WOULD NOT WEAR IT WITH A FOX
I WOULD NOT WEAR IT IN A BOX.
I DO NOT LIKE PINK VESTS YOU SEE.
THE COLOR JUST ISN'T RIGHT FOR ME.

NATE BECKER LOVES PINK VESTS I'M TOLD
AND WON'T PART WITH HIS TIL HE IS OLD.
BUT WHAT HE LOVES MORE THAN A VEST OF PINK
IS HIS SECURITY BLANKET MADE OF A SOFT MINK.
POOR LIL NATE, WHAT ARE WE TO SAY...
OUT AT PAINT BALL RETREAT, YOU WILL GET YOUR PAY.

And, of course, I can't leave without one Tyler story. Excuse me if its too much information, but I want to preserve this little memory:). Yesterday Tyler was having a little issue with going to the bathroom, okay, so truthfully it was a BIG issue. He likes his privacy, and so we would check on him periodically. One time that we checked on him he said, "I prayed to God for Him to take the poopie away". ha. I love that kid:)
