While I was doing yard work this afternoon for about 2 hours, the kids were mostly outside too, but spent a little time in the house. When I was finished, I went up to the kids' bathroom with Lucas who had fallen and busted open a "boo-boo" he got when he face-planted (and knee and elbow planted) the other day while running down hill. In the bathroom I see toothpaste all over the counter and in the sink. As I cleaned it up I told him he would lose his allowance to pay for the toothpaste he wasted. (The same thing happened yesterday with liquid soap which he poured out and filled with water). While we are discussing this I realize he is walking around in socks that are sopping wet- why?- I didn't ask. I tell him to take them off immediately and put them in the washer... "The one with the open lid". A little while later I go to the laundry room and see that the dryer is on. Strange since the load in it has been dry for about a day. Also, the small trash can has been turned upside down in a laundry basket for the second time today. I call Lucas in and discuss these things... find out his wet, dirty socks are in the dryer (this too has happened before with something even more disgusting- I'll spare you the details).
Now, this was only about 1/2 hour out of the whole day. There are also lots of hugs, kisses, and funny conversations, but this was not an unusual day by any means.
