FOR CRYING OUT LOUD

This evening, after S'mores at the neighbor's house, the boys went rushing inside ahead of us. Both had been playing hard and had forgotten how much they needed to pee...

Blane beat Tobin to the pot and was already going when Tobin arrived. Tobin, not one to ever pee one second before it's absolutely too late, runs in, pants down, and unable to hold it while his brother was going, ended up peeing on Blane. Of all people, BLANE, who hates to not be clean!

So of course Blane starts howling about Tobin peeing on him, and Kristen starts tending to the mess in the bathroom while I got the bath ready. (And let's be honest, we're all kind of laughing at how ridiculous the situation was, especially because Blane kept muttering, "I can't believe you peed on me Tobin!")

Once out of the bath, Blane's drying off and asks Kristen for some clothes so he doesn't have to leave our room naked. (He's the clean, and modest one - very much the ying to Tobin's yang.) When Kristen didn't hop-to immediately, in an exasperated tone, Blane says, "For crying out loud, I'll just do it myself!" as he begins wrapping a towel around his narrow little waist.

It surely made for an entertaining evening in our home. The boys know how to keep it interesting, and for that, I guess we should be grateful.
