What every mother dreams of...

...or has nightmares about!

So here's the story... Friday night I had a meeting to go to, and I was trying to get the house cleaned up before the babysitter came. The kids were playing so well together, that I didn't pay much attention to what they were doing. I was busy cleaning the living room (that has no windows!) so I couldn't see what was going on. I stopped cleaning for a moment, and I could hear the sound of water running...bad sign! When I looked outside, to my horror, there they were, playing in the muddy water! Now I know better than anyone that kids like water and mud, but didn't they know I was in a hurry?!? To make matters worse, Jennah, who is 8 and should know better, and Kirstie were out there with no pants on, and Stevie was naked from the waist down! To try to contain my anger and frustration, I got out the camera and tried to laugh it off. I have to tell myself at times like this, that they grow up too quickly, try to enjoy every moment-even if I don't have time to clean up the mess.
