Drew the "Professional"

I love this spring weather!  We unplugged the Wii and are taking a break from t.v. and video games for three weeks, and the weather has been cooperating!:) The children have been outside playing every day and they can't get enough.

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.
