Well today - I found yet another reason that tweezers are essential in my home!!
Does everybody know what these are?
Pom poms - those cute little puffy balls that you let your kids use on art projects!! Right? I bought them a few weeks ago - trying to do some crafts to keep my kids entertained indoors during the summer heat until Jacob healed up from his surgery (and his second ear infection!)
Never in my wildest dreams did I think that my boys would find another use for them!!
But - oh they did - and it wasn't a good one!!
So I'm sitting at my desk on the phone with my insurance company - and I had JUST gotten through to speak to the right person about replacing my roof (I LOVE TEXAS HAIL!) - and my boys come downstairs SCREAMING!! And I'm thinking - seriously?! Right when I get on the phone - this better be something serious! So I look for blood - no blood. I ask why they are crying and they just keep crying.
Then Jacob points to his nose!! And says "ball"! So I'm freaking out - I can't imagine what is up there! If I use tweezers, am I just going to stick it deeper? At least I can still kind of see Jacob's - so I go for his first. After much screaming (both me and Jacob) - my trusty tweezers come out along with a POM POM!! Yup - they both stuck one of those stinking Pom Pom things up their nose - WAY UP THEIR NOSE!! Matthew's was a little tougher - but it came out too!
Can I just say I LOVE TWEEZERS? Had I not had tweezers - I would have had to go to the Dr. or Urgent Care or the ER to get these things out of my boys nose!!

I can just imagine. Yikes.
I love tweezers too. They allow us to be so much more accurate than our big, fumbling hands can be by themselves.
That is hilarious! I can't remember a single time I have ever had to pull something out of my kids' nose. But I have to wonder if I am forgetting since I don't have a handy blog that recorded all those priceless moments.
And, we totally need to catch up sometime soon before I leave for a month and you totally think I have fallen off the face of the earth. However, I've been loving that everytime I see you, you've thought I've lost weight. But unfortunately I think that has more to do with not remembering me then actual weight lost :-(
I have always wondered why kids like to put things up their nose....
Do they think that where it is going is not attached to themselves?
Do they think that it will come out somehwere else?
Are they "saving" it for later?
Is it a hiding place?
Are they trying to see how many they can get in there..and then it is too late?
I am just wondering....
