I think I have an idea!

Yeah! Today it rained, or more like tonight. Here's the story. The kids are begging to go outside though it really is time for bed and it's pouring outside.

Sophie: Outside Daddy.

Ethan: I want to go outside.

Dad: Do you guys want to get the mail?

By the way the mail was brought in at lunch time, by Daddy.

Kids: Yeah!

Dad opens the door to show them the rain.

Dad: You can't look it's raining outside. See.

Ethan: I think... I have an idea. I have an idea. How about... how about an umbrella? Yeah.

So because Ethan's idea was so cute Dad gave in. The end.

Okay Dad did take the kids on a short walk outside in the rain, while using the umbrella. Ethan's idea came to him without us even mentioning about the umbrella in the closet. Funny little guy. After their short walk it was off to bed.

Today the kid's drove me nuts! But the little things Sophie and Ethan say make the hard times disappear. Another funny thing Ethan said today was, "watch me Mom, look my pogo stick." As he jumped around the room with the vacuum extension. Where does he come up with these things? I didn't know he knew what a pogo stick was. Crazy.
