This is what happens when when I leave my son playing outside too long. He and his friend decided it would be so funny to turn on the back water and get muddy. He is a boy after all. My neighbor came over to my back door and said, bring your camera...but you will be mad. 
My neighbor friend took her son, Ryan's friend Will, inside and bathed him. What did I do with my son? I got the hose and sprayed him off. Yeah, I'm that kind of mom.
I was not about to have him walking through the house like that.Here is their wonderful art work on the back of our house. You know, it wasn't so much that I was mad he played in the mud...he is a boy. It was that I already told him to turn off the water and he kept on playing. Am I the only mother with a child that doesn't listen.
Last night was a bad night with Ethan. I didn't get to sleep until 2 am. And even then, Ethan was in our bed kicking us all night. So I got up with the kids at 6:45 and fed them breakfast. Then I went back to bed with Ethan for a while. I woke up to Ryan's friend Will ringing the doorbell at 9 am. He said Ryan was over at his house waking him up by hitting him on the head with a pillow. Erin, Will's mom, came over and said, "it was so cute, Ryan was over at our house in my room at 7:30 this morning barefoot and in his pj's asking if Will could play". I said, "Yeah, I'm sure you were thinking it was cute the neighbor boy woke all of you up". So today is the first day Ryan is grounded. Is 4 (almost 5) years old too young to ground? Either way...he's grounded, and I'm going to try to stay sane today.

That was so funny!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't believe Ryan left your house at went and woke the neighbor kid up. Kinda Scary! I am glad he has a friend and everyone is really nice. We will have to come see your new house soon.
Sounds like someone should lock there doors:) I love the artwork on the new house!!:)
This is when we got a fence and locks high up on the doors. The ones that make noise are great also, then you can hear when they leave. We went through this last year with Kai is you can't tell.
For one, you know you loved the mud! 2, I would have used a hose as well! 3, the art work is awesome! 4, a little grounding never hurts anyone! and 5 GET NEW LOCKS!!!! LOL!
Way to go on the hose. Natural consequences. You're dirty, you don't come inside. Also, your house looks beautiful, can't wait to see it in person!
That is too funny and no you are not the only one with a child who doesn't listen. I have a 2 year old who is not very good at listening either. :) I would have done the same thing with the hose, and hosed down my child too. Your house is beautiful and we hope you guys are doing great!
