Why are my kids always up to mischief every time I'm not looking? The day after Gavin's Birthday party his friend Carissa and him were playing. They tend to go off and play a lot on their own which doesn't cause me to worry because Carissa is really responsible (in fact, she will come and inform me if Gavin is doing something he shouldn't be). Anyhow, I was feeding Micah and he was starting to fall asleep when I heard the water running downstairs. I just wanted to finish feeding Micah and get him to sleep. After I laid him down I went downstairs to find the view above. Carissa exclaimed that she could swim forever in the winter. Aubri happily agreed. I thought to myself that I could take them out or since they had already made a mess, just let them swim for a while. So I let them swim. I went upstairs to check on Micah when I heard screams. Aubri peed in the pool and they all had to get out. So they all went into the tub to get clean. You can imagine the mess that was on the floor when they were done with the bath (there's something to say about a tile floor versus peel and stick when you have kids. I'm sure our floor is rotted by now since this is not a rare occasion). Not to mention, cleaning out the downstairs pool since there is no drain in that area of the basement. I had to take bucket by bucket and then cup by cup to the laundry sink until it was all drained. That pretty much sums up my days sometimes. I'm just constantly cleaning up one mess after another. O'well...it looks like they had a pretty good time doesn't it? Ahhh...to be so free again.
