Asleep? I don't think so.

My kids love messing around when they are supposed to be in bed. You might agree if you remember our decorated toilet paper roll. So tonight, long after bedtime, the kids come out to show us what they caught. A giant fly. It was creepy and sitting in the palm of J's hand. They tracked the fly by sound. And when they found it, they cornered it. Previously, they had gotten the water spray bottles out of the bathrooms and were armed and ready. Then the kids sprayed and sprayed. The fly was so saturated with water it couldn't fly anymore. Then, they picked it up and showed it to us. We of course are such proud parents. Who could ask for more creative kids? Who could expect a greater gift than a wet fly? I guess if bedtime is stretched out occasionally, we'll be okay. And, now you know that if you get enough kids with water bottles spraying the same fly, the kids will win the battle.

  2. I love it. And I too love your posts. They make me laugh. Rick likes to catch the flies for the kids. My kids just run and scream from them. Maybe I'll suggest spraying them.
