The kids wanted to help me with one of the six loads of laundry I did today. Their help usually results in double the work for me, but today, they at least gave me some entertainment. Here is the argument Jackson and Taylor had while going through the laundry basket.

J: Oh, this is my clean skirt!

T: Uh, no. You don’t have a skirt. It’s mine:

J: I said it was mine, Tay Tay!

T: But you don’t even have a skirt Jack. It’s mine.

J: Oh okay. But you don’t have a penis. I do!

I guess that’s one way to settle an argument between siblings!

This evening, the kids had a picnic dinner outside and played on a playground. They had so much fun, and expelled a ton of energy. I am hopeful that everyone will sleep well and the boys won’t find it necessary to start driving trucks up and down their bedroom walls while making train sounds at 4am. Not that they did that this morning or anything…

This is a picture I normally wouldn’t share because it’s not exactly flattering, but my best friend, Diane, so kindly pointed out that it looks like I’m giving birth to an almost three year old, and I can’t stop laughing. Although, if I was birthing a baby this size, there would be no laughter!

We had Popsicles for dessert, and once again, the kids shared with their “baby” Ranger. He enjoyed the cool Popsicles (Jolly Rancher flavors tonight!) but enjoyed reading the jokes on the stick even more.
