A Change of Plans

I had my afternoon planned perfectly. I had returned home from being gone all morning doing all the things we mom's do and I was going to tackle my house. It is horrifically dirty. And for those that don't ever believe that my house is messy-here is proof. Which is actually very embarrassing to show. If you can't see very well I am sure you can enlarge, but that might really gross you out. That is Aiden's pee all over the back of the toilet seat. It has been there for 2 days and I haven't done anything about it. Needless to say, I have told the boys if they can't aim they can't stand.

Anyways, back to my perfect afternoon. I was going to clean my gross bathrooms and I looked outside and saw my kids trying to build a snowman. I was going back and forth on what I should do when I saw Aiden and Andrew trying to lift a huge snowball on top of another one without success. That did it. The toilets could wait. We set out to make the perfect snowman.

Kimmy got home and was secretly taking our pics through the window, which turned out surprisingly well. Not because of Kimmy's picture taking abilities, but because my windows are about as clean as my toilets.

And here are the builders (Paige and Morgan were at Preschool) with their perfect creation. The kids love their snowman and were singing and dancing around it trying to make it come alive like in Frosty the Snowman. He didn't come alive obviously, we didn't have the magic hat.

It was a great afternoon and I think I made the right choice.

{Oh and I also chose to blog about it rather than clean my gross toilets, so if you pay my house a visit, use Brooke's bathroom. She has recently cleaned hers. }
