OUR CHILDREN ARE BECOMING CUNNING. . .

This morning we were in bed watching General Conference, when Blane and Tobin asked if they could go outside to play. Normally we would be excited to have them go outside for a while, but lately they have been "flooding the house," as they call it. They go out and turn on the hose full blast and run the water all over the side of the house that we had wildflower seeds planted in. They have also found that their sand box makes a nice swimming hole that Tobin calls "the mud."
We decided to let them go out but we warned them that there was to be no water or they would have to come in. They agreed and went out to play. Within 5 minutes, Nick could hear the water. He went out to turn it off and brought them inside. Phoebe had stayed out though. After a little while Blane came to us again and said, "We need to let Phoebe in." That little stinker! He was quite tricky in his plot to get us to open the door for him. When I called him on it he smiled a devilish grin and walked out of our room.
A few hour later, I had let Phoebe out in the front yard to go potty. Tobin looked at me and handed me his little frog and said, "Frog, potty, want outside." He was telling me that his frog needed to go potty outside with Phoebe! What smart and cunning little boys we have! They are sneaky at getting what they want.
