100% naked

Danny landscaped our backyard this week. He put in new plants, bark, and even put in a little fountain. The kids LOVE the fountain. They drink out of it like dogs (sick) and splash their toes in it. While I'm editing photos on the computer in the basement, they can play outside because I can see and hear them through the window. Of course, Jamie takes his clothes off the second he's outside. This is nothing new or weird for him. Maria likes to be naked, too, but she isn't quite as quick to pull the clothes off.

This conversation was taking place on either side of a screen on a window.

Maria: "mom, I'm bigger than Jamie, right?"

Mom: "Yes, Maria, you are."

Maria: "Okay, so that means I'm pretty much in charge of him."

Mom: "Sure, Maria. YOu can be in charge." (I knew this was dangerous)

Maria: "Well, mom.....he took his clothes off. He's in the fountain. Splashing."

Mom: "I know, he always does. Just let him. He's fine, no one is here."

Maria: "Okay. But, ya know, since he did that and I"m pretty much in charge of him you know what that means."

Mom: "What?"

Maria: "Well....I'm just gonna have to take mine off, too."

And there they were. Running around completely, 100% naked in our backyard.

This is Us!

I am a 25 year old mama to 4 (yes, FOUR) babies: Maria, Jamie, Alice, and soon-to-be Charlotte. My husband Danny and I are super busy! We spend our days playing dress up, reading, "doing art," laughing, and we definitely watch our fair share of Noggin.
