The Amazing Color Green

As many of you know CJ started public school this year. This has been a blessing for our family as CJ has thrived since he has been there. One of the reasons CJ has done well there is the mystical, magical color Green. You see green is the considered the highest color in the disciplinary colors food chain. If you do well throughout the day, without incident you receive a green color for the day. If you have an incident (talking, horse playing, etc), you receive a Blue. If you continue your devious and sinful ways, then you continue down the "color change" ladder to yellow, orange and finally the dreaded RED <- Cue big booming, dramatic drum noise BOOM BOOM BOOM!

CJ has received three blues since he's been there but he received them for talking...Can you imagine that? CJ, like his dad, is a know-it-all and truly feels like what he has to say is profound and world changing. Now as an adult, I know that deep down what I have to say is ridiculous and just plain silly but CJ still feels that his words are pure gold and everyone should want to hold on to every little nugget of info that comes from his mouth. I appreciate that about him in some wierd way. I just hope his teacher does too.

CJ has vowed to get a Green today at school, to complete a full week of Green. His reward - a trip to Game Stop. He deserves it! Just think...three months ago CJ was the devil at his old school - earning the evil color of RED every day. God blesses in such colorful ways!

I love my Green son!

What a hoot!

Disclaimer: This post is "R" rated! That's right, it's for mature audience only. WHY you may ask? Because about 4:30am today my wife and I were awakened by the sound of two owls expressing their "desire" for each other. That's right, we heard the call of the wild and boy were they calling!!!

Of course, when Amy and I woke up we couldn't help ourselves and started imagining what those owls were doing. Now, I could go into a number of different scenarios that were playing out in my mind but I won't go there simply because I don't want people to know what I sick mind I really have. I'll rise above my evil ways for your benefit!

Amy and I listened to the owls as the sound of their hooting gradually got closer and closer. The sequence of sounds from the owls started with a deep sounding "Hoo Hoo" then a higher sounding "Hoo Hoo". The "Hoo Hoo's" became more frequent and louder as they got closer. Then we heard nothing! It was at this point that I suddenly realized - we had just listened to "owl sex". <- Told you this was "R" rated! What's disturbing is that I think it happened on our roof. Maybe I should have poured them some wine and played some Barry White!?! Jeez, what kind of host am I?

So, there you have it. Doesn't that make for some good blogging or what? I thought I would bring you some family quality entertainment this morning. Great stuff! The good news is, Amy and I now have something that will make us laugh from time to time when ever we see an image of an owl.

What a hoot!

I love owls!
