How the grass grow's in Arizona, by Hunter Campbell

Last Friday Hunter broght home some art supplies to do an art project for school. He has been dying to start them all weekend. So Sunday morning, I heard him run upstairs, I followed him. I got out the water paints and all the supplies. His theme is Pokemon (of course) and we had completed some clay figures. He wanted to pain the background on some cardboard so I had him do a test run . He started painting and said he wanted grass. He took the green paint and did one big line across the bottom. I casually asked if that is what grass looks like. His reply was "yes." I explained that grass doesn't really look like that and I showed him on my painting what grass looks like. While I was starting to paint the grass Hunter said, "Grass grows flat in Arizona."

The Miracle!

Hunter’s version of the story.
“I was half way asleep and I was trying to get my underpants out and the TV fell on me and I could practically not breathe…”
Here is Jimmy’s side of the story.
I woke Hunter up and told him to take a shower and get ready for school. (This is an every morning ritual) I came upstairs and got a drink of water. When I went back downstairs he was in the room talking to mom. I pulled him onto the stairs and told him that he is not suppose to wake me up. I went and sat down on the computer and a Hunter went into his room to get dressed. Then I heard a big CRASH!!! I jumped up on a dead run for his room and heard “dad” So I speeded up; When I first went in the room I saw the dresser and the TV on the ground. I yanked up the dresser and I looked down and all I could see was his body then noticed the TV was on his head. And right behind me was Shauna and before I could get down there she was lifting the TV off his head. Before we pulled all of it off, I couldn’t even see him, after Shauna had lifted the TV off, I saw the scared look on his face and the tears started coming. I picked him up and hugged him until he stopped crying.
Here is what really happened…..
Hunter was getting ready for school and had just gotten in trouble for waking me up to ask me a question. He was trying to open his top drawer to get his undies out. The previous night he had stuffed the drawer below it, so full, he couldn’t close it all the way. Me, I was drifting peacefully back to sleep when all of a sudden……CRASH, BANG, THUD! On my way up and out of bed next I heard screaming. “Dad, Help, Help!” By this time both Jimmy and I had reached the bedroom, Jimmy first. All I saw was Hunters head squished between the TV and the floor. So I started working on getting that off, out of the corner of my eye I saw jimmy moving faster than I have ever seen him move. He was lifting the dresser and quickly shoved it against the wall. Then he proceeded to remove all the drawers off of Hunter. I was carefully lifting the 75lb+ TV off his head. Then Jimmy picked him up and hugged him for a long time. Jimmy had said he didn’t even see the TV until I started lifting it off his head. I don’t know if you can see in the picture but the side of his face looks like he got a pretty good scrape. I don’t know if it was from the carpet or the TV. After he stopped crying we explained that when he puts his clothes away that he shouldn’t overstuff his drawers. That drawers are suppose to close after you put the clothes in them.

The moral of the story

Jimmy was so scared his body and head hurt for the rest of the day because it scared him so bad. It still brings tears to his eyes thinking about it. He also said it was an eye opener because if anything would have happened too Hunter the he would not have forgiven himself for reprimanding him for waking mom up.
Life is too short. Don't wait for an accident to appreciate it.

A Fitting Story

There were 3 girls who had a very funny story to tell their friends/families last night. Our family took a trip to target because they had saved up some money and wanted to buy something. I learned last night this was not the most beneficial thing for Hunter. He changes his mind every 2 seconds. He settles for something that he can afford rather than saving for what he wants. Anyway, Jayden and I were walking through the girls section (she wanted to look @ dresses.) We ended at the bra section for young miss. There were 3 sales associates in the area stocking shelves and Jayden walked up to the brightly colored bra's and said, in a not so quiet voice, "Mom, these would fit your boobs." One of the sales associates quickly and quietly walked away. The one stocking the bras turned her beat red face away from Jayden's view and finished what she was doing, then quickly walked away. As we were walking by the 3rd associate, I overheard them talking/giggling w/the 2nd associate about the little girl and what she had said about her mom's boob's fitting into the bra's.
