What a busy day. Got the hubs back. Went to La Porte to visit the in-laws. Came home with two children who wouldn't take naps. Alex snoozed in the car for about 30 minutes, woke himself up when we stopped at a red light, and consequently freaked out because he was disoriented. Poor little man. But that was all she wrote. When we actually got home, I put him to bed where he proceeded to talk and play for the next 2 hours. But he was content so I let him stay there. Jeff took a much needed nap while Emma tried to nap with him in our bed but just ended up jumping on him. She came out to the living room to hang with me while I browsed DIY craft blogs. Whoops. Guilty! When the boys got up, we went outside to watch Jeff mow the lawn and wash my car. (Thanks babe!) But see, having the hose out to wash the car and then the lawn equipment meant that I watered some of the thirsty plants in our front yard. And my kids. You knew that was coming, right? Alex LOVED it. Emma squealed and participated just so her brother wouldn't out do her, but she would have been happier playing in the dirt. My sweet prissy girl loves her some dirt. And dirty feet. The blacker the better. I've never been so glad we bought black mulch. :/ But Alex got wetter and wetter and really, if he could have stood directly in the line of fire, he would have. He is my brave boy and by the end of the afternoon, he was s-o-a-k-e-d! And grinning. His hair was wet, his shirt was dripping and his shorts were so wet and heavy they were falling off his cute little bottom. The diapers were FULL (of hose water) so it was time to bring them inside. I grabbed Emma and stripped her skirt off, changed her diaper for a dry one (that also was sans black mulch on the outside) and she was good to go. Jeff was in charge of Alex. Which means that they were playing. And of course Emma wanted to join in. Being dry and inside was no longer fun. I looked outside and Alex is completely naked and Jeff is squirting him with the hose. I assume it was to clean all the dirt off of him, but seeing that little naked hiney was hilarious! I got some really cute pictures which I will NOT be sharing with you! But it was cute. Alex loves water! I quickly wrapped him in a towel and got him partially dressed. We ate dinner and then it was upstairs for more fun in the water. After baths, those kiddos were tuckered out and went to sleep almost before their sweet little heads touched their pillows. Love. Those. Monkeys! Is it sad that at five after nine, I'm ready for bed as well? This mamma is plumb tuckered out! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms I know.
How will your family celebrate?
