Boys!

I just came unglued on my kids. I was sitting here at the computer waiting for naptime to arrive so that I could get in the shower when Tyler showed up at the door (the boys were playing outside). He says, "Mom, I just fell in the mud!" So I very calmly reminded him that I had just finished mopping the floors and he needed to strip down outside before he came in. So he took his boots off and came in. Chris was right behind him as always but he didn't take off his boots, he walked all through the house, all over my new clean floor, and then came over to me and told me that his boots were covered in mud! And by covered in mud, I mean one big piece of mud in a nearly unrecognizable boot shape. So I told him (not so calmly) to get off my clean floor with his muddy boots and he took the long way off the floor, by touching every piece of clean tile there was between me and the farthest point of floor that he could walk on!
While I was throwing my fit about how if either of the boys ever gets close to another piece of mud again.... Chris looks me straight in the eye and yells back at me and says "I not naughty, I a boy!"
That did not make me feel better.
