Who needs SpongeBob?

I don't really let my kids watch a lot of television. It's not a punishment really, it's just that I'd like to see my kids busy with other things. They do a wonderful job of entertaining themselves without the aide of electronics. It's not really against the rules, they do watch a bit, but basically we are busy doing other things and most of the time it's not an issue.

One way I keep them busy is putting them in charge of watering my flowers. I'm terrible about doing it, and they love to spray the hose and get everything wet. It's a perfect morning activity. Recently, our neighbors moved away and they left behind a HUGE pot with a dying flower in it. She really did give it to me as a gift. How Lovely. Thanks. Anyway, a couple of mornings ago when the kids were out doing the watering, the huge pot became a swimming pool. They had a great time climbing in and out of the thing. It was a total mess, but a good time none the less!! Who needs Sponge Bob when you've got a giant pot of mud?!

The video is the cutest! I just love that boy! Whenever I need a little pick me up, I'll just watch that for a big smile.

You DO KNOW that I let Lily watch Sponge Bob every time she is at my house.

two thoughts...

1. what kind of language did you teach drew? it sounds like monk chants! i didn't even have a clue what he was saying in the first 45 seconds, and i listened to it twice!

2. i bet you ate mud as a child too....and you turned out just fine!...wait, on second thought...

3. Yes I know I said 2. I WAS TOTALLY KIDDING ABOUT you not turning out ok! Ha ha!

That was hilarious! I had to laugh quietly because zander was already in bed! I'm showing him that video tomorrow! thanks!
