Wheeee!!!!!!
The leavin's the hardest part.
Thought I might include a "before" shot....
My perfect afternoon....(and this happens ALL the time believe me in my perfect life with my perfect children) *ahemmm*:

Imagine the scene: The children are quietly playing sidewalk chalk on our back patio. There is no screaming or crying or whining as I make a wonderful and delicious homemade dinner for my family (OK so sue me b/c I actually don't even remember what I was making).

I was enjoying the quiet time to talk to Granny Kennedy on the phone and she remarked how quiet the kids were. I bragged, "Oh Yes, they are playing with chalk outside. " As I spoke the words, I realized the children actually had been really, really quiet for awhile. Hmmmm. Actually TOO QUIET. I think it's safe to say that mothers everywhere know what I'm talking about here. DUH. Wet footprint path...... Water hose....... MUD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S.

The strange rash that popped up the next day WAS disturbing but who could wish away such happy faces?!
