Priceless Junk in my Boy's Room

I've written before about "A boy and his treasures", but I just had to show you some of the things my son keeps in his room.  Whenever we have a big clean-out in there, these are the items that MUST be kept!  They are never up for cleaning negotiations. I'm not sure if all boys are like this, or if I'm raising a pack rat, but the plethora of items in his room is overwhelming when I'm trying to tidy up the place.

Here is a pictorial sampling of items my son holds near and dear to his heart. It is by no means his complete collection, but it merely highlights a few of his favorite treasures.






And for the finale: A smorgasbord treasure chest of petrified wood, seashells, lava rocks, pottery, snake skins, rifle cartridges, and shotgun shells.


If you enter my son's room, he won't show you his shelf of sports trophies, his toys, or his games.  He'll show you this stuff...the stuff that matters the most to him!

  3. Looks like he's developing a keen appreciation for the beauty of natural materials. And he's not alone. There's a reason people pay top dollar for snakeskin boots and ivory gun grips.

  4. That is so funny. I have a similar situation with my son. In fact when we take the kids out to the desert to shoot guns I think my son thinks that spent shells are gold because he must collect everyone he sees. He reminds me of the little boys in Old Yeller, and Bedknobs and Broomsticks.
