Things Kids Do

Music class started back up today. Jacob usually struts around for a while singing Bob the Builder or pretending he's on his cell phone working out the details of a 'job'. Today, however, he was wearing his Carhartt work pants since every other pair of pants was urine soaked and waiting to be washed. He's been asking to wear them when Zach is working on the addition. Jacob wants to join in and he wants to be dressed appropriately. So at music this morning he was walking around the circle singing "Me and Daddy like Carhartt pants. Me and Daddy like Carhartt pants..." I hope he's not the weird kid.

Speaking of pants, Jacob and Bella figured out a socially acceptable way to get naked. They were playing upstairs here on Monday and Zach went up to check on them. He found Jacob stripping down out of his wet pants and worked it out of him that he peed his pants just so he could get nakey. Walking back in the room where Bella was, he found she had caught on and decided to follow suit. Those little stinkers!

After the peeing and the changing into new clothes, we decided to take the kids in the back yard and let them have a go at the mud. One-by-one they all fell in it, landed face first in mud, and stepped out of their boots into the puddles barefoot. We were cracking up the whole time.
