No, that's our neighbor's dog who we keep often while the owner is out of town or gone for the day. The boys are head over heels in love with her! haha

hahahahahahahhahahahaha NOOOOO, we have enough of a zoo here :) Derek's brother has Nugget, so we still see her all the time, plus we get to play with this one, Peanut even more than Nugget. Between her harassing the kids, the kids harassing her, letting her out to pee, making sure she is fed, worrying about her if we have to be gone for awhile during the day, and cleaning up her vomit in the night, I am certainly not looking into getting a dog for the boys :) We have enough animals we are responsible for right now! But good question...I'm sure the boys would appreciate you asking ;)

Raising Real Men, Part 3

Image
Chapter 3 was a very short chapter, but full of ideas on a simple truth: Boys will become men who will eventually come to a situation or position where they will need to stand up for what they believe in. In certain situations, this might mean they are left standing alone (hence the title of the chapter, "Standing Alone.") Through the reading of Luke 16:10 ("He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much,") the Young's set out to give their sons responsibilities and leadership positions in baby steps. Most importantly, it all began under parental supervision. Their purpose in this plan was to make sure their boys were given ample opportunity to face real-life obstacles while Mom and Dad were there by their side. When the boys became men and were truly faced with those situations (withOUT Mom and Dad), they had the confidence and courage to stand alone and do what was right. My favorite lesson in this chapter (and one I was quick to share with my h...

Raising Real Men, part 6

Moving into Part Two of the book, "Civilization for the Tough," the Young's begin with "First Things" first! What do you think is the first thing involved in raising REAL men to be civilized? Deuteronomy 6:4-7 The Young's have dubbed this passage of Scripture "the basic commandment for homeschoolers." I think many homeschoolers use this passage, as well as Deut. 11:18-20 , which I even have had on my homeschool blog for awhile :) To summarize the verses: Teach (these words) diligently to your children, talk of them while you sit, when you walk, when you lie down, when you rise... The foundation of the raising of our children (boys or girls) must begin here. "Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength," and with all your mind (which we so often forget!!!) (Matthew 22:37) I am so glad the Young's state this as being first, because even though, as a believer, it seems obvious, it can s...

Raising Real Men

I just started reading Raising Real Men by Hal and Melanie Young , and I am already blown away. I read so many rave reviews about the book, and (seeing as I have four boys) I figured it would be a good one for my library. I will posting a "quote of the week" from the book here on the blog, as well as various convictions, thoughts, and things I am learning. I would love to have something to look back at once I'm finished reading the book, and I hope it will benefit those of you with boys out there as well. So often, I feel like I need to re-read books once I finish them simply because it takes me so long to get through them. This is also one of those books that I feel like has so much to chew on in one chapter, I need to let it sit for a few days. I hope you gain some wisdom from these authors (of SIX boys) as I do the same!! If you ARE a mother of many boys (or even just one!), pick up this book. It is totally worth whatever price you can find it for. I would seriously q...
