Today Canyon told me that he and Gus did not need me to take care of them that they could take care of themselves. I said oh ok well what are you going to do if you get hungry or thirsty? He said I can make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (which he has in the past and that was a fun mess),Gus has the drinks covered he will just get a stool he says... I reminded him that we were out of Peanut butter and he said well we will go to the "Smifs" and buy some... I asked how are you going to get there? They will walk or ride their bikes, then he thinks about this for a minute and says before you go can you ride us there because we don't want to get run over, but when we get there we can take care of ourselves you can go... Then he and Augustus discuss what other important items they will need to survive on.... their list consisted of Peanut butter, Popsicles and ice cream.... just the necessities!!
This conversation came after a LONG day of little boy naughtiness which we can not leave Owen out of his part of the 3 muskateers...anyway I guess they were tired of getting in trouble for what they were doing or being told they couldn't make mud salads in the garage and throw them on each other..... or that a bag of chips thrown all over the kitchen is going to get them yelled at. Spilling/throwing dog food all over 3x today wasn't going to fly either... They were fed up with their restrictions and I have been relieved of the job of taking caring of them, My services are no longer needed and I have been let go. This economy is really hitting hard isn't it when even the job of mom is being downsized.
Which by the way them taking care of themselves right now is not working too great they are still awake washing their cars with a cup in their room with toothpaste (which I stopped as well even after being fired!!)
He just came out to ask me how to spell turtle though so maybe until they learn to read I have a little more job security then early thought!!!!

that made me laugh pretty hard! you are so funny! and Canyon kills me, I do feel pretty safe at my current job with Annie but the old folks seem to be dropping like flies. my list keeps getting shorter! I'd like to know how today goes with no help from you, just lock them out so the messes are kept outside!
ps my word verification word is condon.. at first I thought it was condom. and on Shawna's I thought it was nudist but it was an 'm' instead of 'n' crazy word verification!(:
I am hoping Brevin wasn't part of the destruction! I love it though! They are too funny! It cracks me up how they just walk in my house with not a care in the world! Funny little boys!
Actually I was just rereading the post and wondering if I should have added Brevin... he however did not like the mud party and like a good little boy kept himself out of it!!
HAHAHAHAA!!!!!! OH I AM LAUGHING SO STINKIN HARD RIGHT NOW!!!! Little boys...they KILL me! Guess this means you'll have more "you" time now.
Oh I am laughing so hard. I love that little guy. He is so cute and sure has a mind of his own. So good to know that he is thinking. Don't worry tomorrow he'll fall and want some mom kisses or something. I think your job is secure! I still love seeing him on the back of the scooter with his sister in his superman underwear the other day. It was adorable!
