I'm not saying I didn't LOVE it... it just isn't something I've ever seen in a kids room. Maybe the Lord was helping you to stop teaching your kids that poaching was a GOOD thing.

Where did you find the great animal heads?? Love them!<BR/>I have also learned to never say the "I will never comments". One that my husband and I said before we had kids was, "We will NEVER let our kids sleep with us." After many, many sleepless months with Hunter, we gave in and all enjoyed some much need sleep. :)Teresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13484713845836835913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33542389.post-22267878066827893482007-03-26T15:57:00.000+02:002007-03-26T15:57:00.000+02:00I am sorry about the gorgeous safari theme, though...I am sorry about the gorgeous safari theme, though!

I used to verbalize them. I then had kids and realized that there is some strange ooze that runs through a child's veins and some of their behaviors can not be controled by mom and dad (SHOCKING I KNOW!). <BR/><BR/>I still have tons of "I WILLL NEVER" thoughts, but I am smarter now, I don't verbalize them.<BR/><BR/>I guess this is one time when I believe the "name it claim it" theology might work. Every time I have said, "you won't see my kids doing that...." they do.<BR/><BR/>I think it's God's way of reminding us who is really in control:-)<BR/><BR/>And I think you're off the hood since it was FREE.
