Children

My husband has gone to pick up the oldest, Josh-15, from my parent's house. I am home with Caleb-10 and Daniel-5 (will be 6 Tuesday).

It had been raining almost all day and they needed to go out to play so out went Caleb and Daniel. Caleb texted me to tell me where they were playing and I was pleased that he sent me a message to tell me where they were. Time had passed, the house was nice and peaceful, when I decided the boys needed to come in. I did what any normal mom would do, I sent a text to tell them to come in.

In they came, along with half the mud in the whole neighborhood! Yes it had been raining. I understand that boys are dirt magnets, but to have so much on them...and the floor had been mopped today.

They were ordered into the bathroom to strip and shower. Being such close brothers, this was not going to happen. Heaven forbid they shower together. Daniel goes in and bathes. Caleb decides he wants to sit on the couch, covered in mud. Seriously now. When he was promptly ordered off the couch, he accused me of treating him like a dog. He went to sit elsewhere.

Out bounced Daniel from the shower and in went Caleb. Daniel put on his Hulk jammies and asked for a piece of meat. He makes me laugh. =)

Now both of the little ones are clean and in their jammies eating meat. I am going to sweep the floor before hubby gets home with Josh. They are headed back from my parents and I have about 45 minutes to get the floor done.
