Mud Anyone??

on Sunday, March 16, 2008



When there's mud, they will find it! This picture doesn't even come close to doing their "filthiness" justice! The kids had a ball a couple weekends ago. It was so muddy out, but they had such a great time. They got on their four wheelers and went riding through the feedlot. They knew that when they came in the house they would have to go to the shower, sooo.... they just didn't come in! That solved that problem! They were out all day and were so good. It's very rare that they actually get along for any extended amount of time. Brooke is 9 and Blake is almost 7 (the 20th of this month). He thinks he rules the house and tries to run all over his poor sister. She gets so mad at him. She can't even get a word in when he's around. According to his teacher, he's that way in the classroom, too! I just can't imagine. Ha! I guess they've been discussing in first grade what it means to be "green with envy". Last night I was listening to him and his friend talk.... first of all, that was a big mistake.... I guess I learned not to listen anymore as they were discussing what they were jealous of. Keep in mind that they are 6 years old and were in the bathroom together. Never will that happen again either. They were suppose to be brushing their teeth! Another lesson learned.... and believe me, I've learned lots!
