Yesterday morning the boys were playing outside in the back yard, while I was running (around the back yard), I stopped off in the house for a quick water and potty break.
I mean heck they are almost 3 and there is absolutely nothing they could get into back there. You know where this is going don’t you!
I step back outside no less than 2 minutes later to see this.
Hey Little W stop, let me look at you.
What’s that on your legs? Chicken poop, dog poop, your own poop???
NO worse it’s grease! Yes I said grease is worse. Poop can be washed off with soap and water, grease has to be scrubbed and scrubbed and scrubbed with special gritty soap, and on two wiggly boys = lots of work.
Hey boy’s can you turn around for Mommy?
So tell me, how did you get so much grease on your legs?
Oh on Daddy’s truck? Climbing in the tires? I seem to remember this isn’t the first time that has happened.
Also what are you wearing and why does your Mommy let you out of the house like that?
And do you think those cute smiles are going to save all the rubbing and scrubbing that is about to occur???
*disclaimer on my behalf* The boys choose to wear their night shirts, undies and boots that day. Did I suggest otherwise? Yes. Did they agree? No. Was it a battle I felt like fighting to go play in the back yard? No!
*Note to all the mothers of clean children* I am jealous! Please don’t tell me how your child has never rolled in mud, grease, poop, dirt. I will just choose to believe that every single child has done that on numerous occasion’s.
*Note to all the mothers of dirty children* Please share your dirty children stories, it will make me feel a lot better.
HA HA!
Buddy (2.5) declared that he was going outside to play. he was very adament about it, so he went out into the front yard, where we could see him through all the windows while we did work inside.
He insisted on wearing his t-shirt, underpants, crocs, and a sunhat!!
What a fashion statement!! (And it is cooler here…we ‘re in Southern Ontario)
Love it! Boys have an uncanny ability to cover themselves in all things dirty in under two minutes flat. Good to know my boys are not the only ones–twins boys, gotta love ’em…
My boys are always dirty. They cannot see a mud pile or a puddle of water without wanting to splash their way through it. And their fingernails are always disgusting, no matter how often I clip them or clean them.
Even though your boys have grease stains all over them, they are still downright adorable!!! Love those smiles!
Love it! Turns out SuperBaby is the dirtiest of the three… and I didn’t really suspect that would be an issue after Super Girl… I was wrong. 🙂
They’re still pretty cute dirty! No filthy kids stories… but lots about the dogs. One blue heeler LOVES to roll in bear and fox poop, so I’ve given her many a bath and scrubbed it off. Gross!
@Helene, OH Helene, what is it about mud puddles, and dirty fingernails, so gross. My Mom swears I never clean them or clip those nails, lol!
@ashley @ ashley’s adventures in alaska, Wow Ashley, you just scared me a bit, BEAR poop???? I must say that is one brave or smart dog!
@Leslie, Love it, you know those opinionated kiddos and their unique outfits, I hope you too a picture of that.
@Jennifer, Your so right about that. I think since it’s two of them they egg each other on, like who can get dirtier, ha ha.
Oh yes, bear poop. The joys that come with living in an Alaskan village (on Kodiak island!) and having dogs!
Remember that cartoon Granny has: There are two kinds of boys, dirty and not yet!
“Mud Man” was my son’s favorite playmate. And then there was the time Son #1 got into the charcoal from the barbecue–he looked like a raccoon! Your twins look twice as cute dirty 🙂
