Stick in the Mud

Clark is all boy. He loves running and jumping and climbing. He loves sticks and puddles and rocks and mud. He loves swords and guns and bows and arrows. He loves tractors and race cars and trains and airplanes and fire engines and garbage trucks.


Lately all this being a boy has meant making big boy messes. Like last week when he dumped his cup of lemonade on my newly mopped kitchen floor. Like yesterday when I got suckered into having a Kirby vacuum demonstration (hey, at least they shampooed my living room carpet!) for almost three hours, and they leave all the gross dirt piles--I mean used filters--everwhere so you can see what a mess your life is, and Clark decides to drive his train through them when I'm not looking. Nice.

being a boy is what makes boys so simple. girls are full of drama from the beginning...trust me, i'm an expert ;)
clark is definitely a handsome little guy, and looks like he's cooking up some wild adventure for you to clean up. fun times.

What a cute little man! So...did you buy the vacuum? Do they still dump salt into your carpet when they are demonstrating? Ha ha. They do have a way of making you feel guilty...and dirty...it's not good for OC people like us.
Kim that is so funny about the vacuum demo, we had the same thing happen with a rainbow vacuum salesman. Three hours later we had bought the vacuum and were 2000.00 dollars poorer. Thank goodness we came to our senses and returned the vacuum the next morning the salesman was not too happy!! Boys are fun, Clark looks like a handful!!

Um. No. No vacuum purchase was made. I'm not about to fork over $2700 for a vacuum. I don't care if it is a Kirby, gilded in gold. The guy kept asking me stuff like, "Doesn't it bother you that you sleep with millions of dustmites?" and I kept saying things like, "Actually, I'm kinda fine with it...(smile, grin, smirk inserted here). Thanks though!"
