And of course since it is fifty degrees outside the kids think it's time to shed their shoes and turn on the hose. As soon as I hear the water being turned on I rush outside and tell them to turn the hose off because it's not warm enough to play in the water yet; but not before they have already turned the big dirt pile in the backyard into mud.
So a couple days ago I made a cake to take to Lamon at work. I yelled to the kids, "Come on guys! Time to get in the car! We are going to Dad's work. Let's get our seat belts on!"
After a couple times of yelling this (they don't exactly come the first time) Hayden and Ada came up, but no Drew.
"Drew? Where are you? It's time to go!"
I looked around and then I saw that the patio door was open so I peeked into the backyard and Aha! I found him. And what was he doing? I'm still not sure. He was in the middle of this huge pile of mud balancing on a rock with one foot. His arms and other leg were in the air."Drew, what are you doing?!! We need to go, and I really don't want you getting all muddy!"
Then Drew looked up at me and said, "Mom, don't worry! I am a professional!!"
And what mother wouldn't be proud to have a one legged rock balancing professional in their family?
About two seconds later . . . SPLOITCH!! Our professional lost his balance and landed right in the mud. It's a good thing he is an "Expert" "Professional" "Pro" and "The Best" at so many things. :) Drew I love you.
