I can't drive 55.

Merrick recently got a bike on loan from my aunt. He loves to drive to the top of our sidewalk and fly down and crash into the grass at the other end. As fast as possible. Sometimes he whips around the bend in the sidewalk towards our townhouse and I have to close my eyes to resist the urge to squelch the adventurer in him. I recently heard a song that I think applies here. Goes something like this:


One foot on the brake and one on the gas. Well, there's too much traffic, I can't pass. So I tried my best illegal move, and a big black and white come and crushed my groove. Again.


Go on and write me up for 125. Post my face, wanted dead or alive. Take my license and all that jive. I can't drive 55. - Sammy Hagar


As the woman who will be writing the checks when he's on our car insurance policy...I hope this song does not also apply to when he's driving something with an actual engine.

Check out more shots at Oh Snap, Photo Friday, Fabulous Friday.
The third shot is for The Paper Mama

Boys are so stressful, but so much fun!

LOL! I feel the same way and cringe at the though when our kids are ready to push the pedal - gas pedal that is!

These boys are going to keep us on our toes for sure. We don't go out anywhere without Harrison asking at least once for me drive go faster! :)

That's too funny! Perfect song lyrics for this little guy. I totally understand the internal conflict to want to keep them safe without squelching their adventurous spirits. Sounds like you are doing a great job! :) Love that last photo too!!!
