Recipe for mayhem & recipe for sanity

Mayhem:

Mix together the following:

Two boys

One super-bouncy-ball

One church gymnasium

The mayhem was echoing off the walls for a good ten minutes, but boy, did they have fun. Jamie, being the competitive little thing he is, would have tackled Matthew for the ball if I'd have let him.

Sanity:

One babysitter in the church nursery

One super-bouncy-ball

Instructions from Mommy

A dash of distraction

The ball is now the babysitter's dog's new toy. Hallelujah!

If Skippy could talk, he'd thank me because the boys would have probably turned into a menace with that thing in the house.
