Tim and I had one of our "parent moments" this weekend - one of those moments where your kid does something SO BAD, that it becomes funny. Clayton and Briley were outside - we thought playing nicely on the swingset and in the sandbox. It was a nice, breezy day - cool enough for the kids to have jackets on in the middle of the day. I had been outside to check on them about 5 minutes earlier and had decided to go back and take a shower (we had been cleaning out our garage all morning). Later, as I got out of the shower, I heard Tim's voice LOUDLY telling Clayton to get in his room. Now, if you know Tim, then you know his voice is not very loud, and it takes a LOT to get his voice loud. So, I knew it was something major. CLayton had gotten a whim and decided that teh sandbox needed some water in it so they could build better sandcastles. Well, his version is that "Briley told him too" - so of course he listened to her when she told him to spray HER with the hose. He had turned on the hose, and when Tim heard Briley crying loudly in the backyard, he found Clayton standing over her DOUSING HER with the hose on full blast of cold water. Needless to day, shoes were ruined, the sand box was overflowing with water, the 2-year old was cold and wet, and the DAD had his first encounter with high blood pressure. (something Mom feels DAILY)
Later that night, when the punishments were over, and the sand was out of everyone's hair - Tim and I figured that ....
After all the stuff she does to him, Briley probably deserved it
AND
It was a pretty funny sight to see
Now - have I told you about the time that Briley covered the walls of her bathroom with baby powder??????
