Technicolor thought: never garden with toddlers

Do you remember that time you felt so liberated by having 50% of your child load reduced courtesy of the back to school phenomenon that you decided to do a little gardening while your two littlest ones played in the yard? And then you looked over and saw your fair haired, white shirt, pastel pink pant wearing one year old covered with, diving in, and eating the black flower bed mulch which posses startling color dye properties? No??…..okay…..me neither.

Do You Remember?

Do you remember that time you started a bath for your kids and then went down stairs to call them in from outside….and spotted them all out the window playing so sweetly for the first time that day…..and so you thought you’d just wait a few minutes….and then did a little cleaning in your kitchen….and then you thought….hmmm why do I hear water running??? No?….okay…..me neither.
