Dad's

Mom,  "Sam the kids are filthy they need to be cleaned up before they come in or go stratight to the bath."

Dad,  "Okay"

After checking on Zack with 104 degree fever and wiping the kitchen counter I poke my head out the kitchen patio door to see what's taking so long and find a classic 'Dad scene'.  A pile of ity bity kids clothes strewn over the patio, including underwear, and naked shrieking children being hosed down by none other than Daddy.  Addie was jealous of the fun so she got stripped down as well and joined right in.  After my initial, "What are you doing?" question, which is silly - of course he was cleaning them up - I went in, got the soap and towels, and joined the 'bath'.  

The warm Louisiana hose water definitely aided in the fun of this lifelong memory for the kids! For obvious reasons, I will leave the pictures safely tucked in on i-photo until such time as the children need sufficient humiliating when they are older :o)
