Korbin came down the stairs today with his hand steady next to his side. I knew that something was up. I saw a hint of green under his hand. I told him to give me whatever it was that he was hiding. I thought it was the scissors from yesterday. But no, I wasnt that lucky. Instead it was this: 
Yep that's right! My brand new, very sharp Pampered Chef paring knife. Seriously? Give me a freakin break! What on Earth was he thinking? What on earth were the other three kids older than him that knew he had the knife thinking? What was a brown haired 8 year old doing when she cut herself with said knife and didn't tell anyone? He had it in his pants pocket ALL day today! I'm lucky my son is not my daughter now!
Don't worry though. I sat my two down and told them how they could die from using tools they aren't old enough to use properly. I'm going to lose my mind. He's 5. Not even 5 1/2 yet. Just plain 5. And about as bone headed as can be!
Whats next? Good thing WE don't have any guns in the house! Ugh... life.
On the upside I just went to this blog Booking Mama entered to win Drivng Sideways by new author Jess Riley. 
Go enter but if you win please let me have it!

Hi, Found your blog through Laura's snake post today. Your story reminded me of one of my sons who came downstairs last year long after bedtime. His hand was dripping blood. We asked was he hurt? No response. About five minutes into our increasingly loud and frantic questions and after dragging him up to his room to find the source, he finally told us he had no idea what had happened and it certainly had nothing to do with his brother's scout knife lying open on the bed!
My sister's husband is career Army, so I have a soft spot in my heart for your blog already!
It is always something - so glad they didn't ruin your good knife (bad joke)!
Thanks for coming by and leaving the sweet comment for "Our Baby" - so nice to see you. Hope to see you again soon - Kellan
LOL You are so funny!!!! Well my dearest you should know by now that those Best boys are the Best and getting into things!!!! I mean come on now...I remember the Tayton stories from Alaska hahahaha. I remember you telling me one day you would LOVE to trade me kids LOL. Now you would just be bored w/ mine LOL. I guess it must be time to put those FCC knife locks on huh hahahaha. I love you girl...TTYS
Wow! How scary!
Just the other day I found two of my boys outside with their swiss army knives (they think because they earned their whittling chips through scouts they can now play with knives! UGH!)
You have my sympathies! LOL Boys are ROUGH!
