True Love...

Shower time...

I love washing vehicles here. It's about the only thing you can do down here without worrying about dehydration.

It's also fun to hear the kids scream as I soak 'em!

Color Coded...

Here's the setting: At dinner, discussing best and worst parts (yes, Beaver Cleaverish, but still fun)

Youngest: The best and worst part of my day was having my friend over...
Me: Having your friend over was a worst part (because of how he had said it)
Youngest: No. The worst and best part of my day was having my friend over...
Me: You already said that
Youngest: Yes, but I wanted to make sure you'd understand so it's color coded...

It's all about looks...

Youngest child to Middle child: You look just like Mom, but without all of the wrinkles.

They're baaaaack...

And I thought I missed all the noise...

Seriously though, it is good to have the kids back home. Even with the arguing (with me, not each other), whining and just general tiredness - I've missed these rugrats. And even if I hadn't, I'm glad the dog is no longer wanting to be outside every 30 seconds to see if they are coming home yet. Geez.

In other news, the summer sitter is done and the kids are generally pleased. For whatever reasons, they weren't overly thrilled with the arrangement, but at the same time, I'm sure they enjoyed it much more than they would have if they had gone somewhere else.
