I snapped a picture on my cell phone because they looked so cute.
I couldn't take the cuteness and I decided I needed better pictures... so I ran inside and got the good camera...
everyone was sharing and it was going lovely.
Ava was of course eating the chalk but whats new??
And then the babies decided stirring the mud puddle wasn't enough...
Which got Ethan's attention for sure...
and he decided to join in.
And then.... the jumping started...
Any sane mother would have stopped things right there.
I think I am not sane. Ava was just giggling so much. I couldn't stop it.
And things just... well, went downhill fast.
Look at the height Ethan gets!
To THIS...
and I sprayed off their stuff.... let them drink from the hose...
I took them in stripped them down in the garage.
carried Ava as far out in front of me as possible.
and put them in the tub.
While they were in the tub we had a long talk about how today was fun and special and tommorow when we play outside... we WON'T play in the mud.
Fingers crossed, prayers prayed and here's hoping they won't forget.
Signing off,
The Insane mother

"here's hoping they won't forget. " --- to listen perhaps, but the memory probably not for a long time if ever.
I love this!!
And I find that my kids have learned the difference between "special" things and normal days because we do just what you did... sometimes we let them go but we always let them know it's not an every day thing. Kids are smart.
And we need to fix your blog so you large pics don't cut in to your sidebar. I have plenty of time to help these days if you want it. You said before you had lots of questions so send them to me.
In that first picture of Ava by herself her profile reminds me so much of you! She's definitely your daughter! I remember seeing that thoughtful look on your face a lot.
aura, I have no idea how to fix that stuff and hate taking the time to figure it out... maybe we can chat online or by phone lol. I need a tutorial. lol
