Slingshot March 5, 2017, at 9:23 pm | Jimmy decided he wanted to make a slingshot. He found a suitable forked stick and the two of us set to work to create the tool. However, after assembly, the stick cracked and had to be discarded. Undaunted, Jimmy decided to go out foraging for another stick. I didn’t hear from him for a while, so I peeked out the window and this is what I saw:
Jimmy was hauling a small sapling up the snowy hill (in the bitter, windy cold) that he had found in the woods. He was determined to saw it into pieces to craft a superior slingshot. I couldn’t help but laugh at my little pioneer man braving the elements! We didn’t end up making a working slingshot after all, but he got lots of points for effort in my book!

ABOUT US I'm blessed to be saved by the grace of God, loved by my wonderful husband Jim, and embraced by my twin girls, Rebecca Faith and Susanna Joy and my sons Jimmy and Danny. I started this blog in May 2008 when I was hospitalized for pre-term labor at 24 weeks gestation. The Lord allowed me to keep the girls inside until they were 34 weeks along, and on July 27th, Rebecca made her debut, followed by Susanna, five minutes later, on July 28th. We ecstatically welcomed Jimmy into our lives on April 25th, 2011, and Danny on August 31, 2012. This blog has been a personal journal of faith and motherhood and the only way I can remember which child did what and when. Thanks for stopping by to share in my Faith and Joy! Feel free to e-mail me at: [email protected]. |
Love that ingenious kid !!!
