No...I'm not referring to a restroom! It's the sound of spring/summer! It's back. The all too familiar sound of doors...revolving doors open and shut! In and out...out and in! Slam, crash, bang! The front door,the back door and the garage door! Sometimes I lock all three! Does it happen to you too? I noticed our little 3 year old neighbor Camryn outside yesterday looking a little sad. So, being the nice neighbor that I am...I said, "what's wrong Camryn?"
She replies, "I can't find my sisters?"I say, "have you checked in your house?"
"No," Camryn says, "my mom and dad said I can't just keep going in and out, out and in!"
So now I'm thinking...wow! They are super smart and...they have obedient children to boot! NO FAIR! Some people have all the luck!
This is my house in the Spring/Summer:
Kid's fully dressed-out to play.
In for a drink-out to play.
In for a snack-out to play.
In for potty break-out to play.
In for a band aid and a kiss-out to play.
In for a swimsuit-out to play.
In for a towel-out to play.
In for a Popsicle-out to play.
In for Popsicle's for half of the neighborhood-out to play!
In for a blanket-out to play.
In for 10 more blankets...busted... no more blankets-out to play.
In to put clothes on-out to play. (not in the original outfit of course.)
I could go on but your probably already wondering why your wasting your time! :)
It finally ends with outside toys, towels, water etc.... everywhere! So we clean up,do dinner,offer baths and exhausted children finally give up and fall into bed. Ahhh...peace!
So... I say, BRING IT! Bring on summer and the return of the in and out house!
Truthfully...it does drive me crazy! But, I LOVE my kids and summer. I know in a few years I will miss these days so I'm gonna enjoy it!
