Kiddos

He's such a grown up little fella laying on the bed watching tv. 

She is a rascal.  I thought it was a good idea to try and get the three large bushes I had purchased the week before planted.  I dug the holes. Miss M and Big Willie scooped dirt out of the hole or scooped it back in. They were confused on the purpose of the hole.  After I got the plants planted they got the hose out to water the plants.  Kit-Kat was just running amuck in the mix of the action. She was a disaster. She ate rocks, she dumped buckets of water on her, she played in the mud the kids made created.  It was interesting but what's life without some action.

You can see her knees are dirty.  I must have just taken her dress off b/c it was soaked and muddy.

I turned on the convection oven we have but rarely use.  I walked in the house about 20 minutes after I turned the oven on to put the food in and realized that something was wrong. The kids play with the convection oven and put random toys in there. Obviously I forgot to look inside.

I really only use the convection oven for Palooza parties. I should have looked.  The kids plastic pizza was melted into the oven rack.  It's still there...a few weeks later...the rack is going to have to be thrown away too b/c I am too lazy to attempt to pry the melted plastic off.

It appears that Miss M always ends up in her swimsuit when the water gets turned on and Big Willie ends up naked.

 Trifecta.

Big Willie after a bath. He smells so clean and he's not sticky. Perfect.

I took all the kids to the pool yesterday.  I had been wanting to take the kids to the pool but I couldn't come to terms to go by myself so my girlfriends agreed to meet me there.  They each have plenty of their own kids but there's comfort in having extra adults around to help if there's an emergency like someone poops.  The kids wore their floaties with no problems. Kit-Kat loved the water.  I need to get her something to float in b/c I think she would be very happy to just splash around and not be held. Overall it was a success but I am not ready to go back today so I sent the big two with the babysitter.
