Squeaky clean






















Try as I might, I cannot seem to keep these stinkers clean.
We have dirt. Everywhere.
Daddy's been working hard on the yard, but there's a lot to do.
If the kids venture outside for even 5 minutes, they are in need of a bath.
One day last week Gwyneth had taken 3 before the day was over.
That's a lot of work for Mama.
Finally, I coaxed her into trying out the shower.
She loves the water, and squealed with delight the moment she stepped in.
Camden is an old pro and had to join.
That left Jude no choice.
He will not allow himself to be "outdone"
But he HATES water. (as you can plainly see) Always has.
He really tried hard to have fun, and even succeeded for a few minutes.
Then decided he'd had enough fun for one day and quickly climbed out.
I think it was a success, though.
They have all begged for a shower every evening since.
Even Jude.

They look like how I am with water in my face, don't enjoy it.
I can't believe how old Camden looks in these... that first one really surprised me!

Woo-hoo. These are some steamy photos. (hee hee hee)

Love them! Is that really the steam or did you photoshop it in? Looks great.

Love those cuties.

And I meant what I said about an over nighter soon! =)
