I don't normally hear my dear husband scream. I did this morning.
DH headed down to the basement to get the stockings to find 2 inches of water in the basement.

Wrath of a 5 year old
This is what I hear: wailing, top of his lungs wailing. I am sure there was gnashing of teeth also. "YOU TOOK MY LEGO PIECE! YOU TOOK IT OFF MY GUY. YOU TOOK IT! YOU ARE A BERY, BERY BAD BOY."
#2 tries to talk to him rationally. It doesn't work. #4 comes downstairs to hide and sulk. I called him over, "Come here little man."
This conversation starts:
#4: Mom, #2 took my lego piece. YOU need to give him a wedgie.
Me: I am not sure a wedgie would be the right answer.
#4: Yes, it would. He took my lego piece. You go upstairs right now and give him a wedgie. Come on mom. Give HIM A WEDGIE.
Don't cross this kid. He goes right for the tender areas.

Conversation about parenting
Stated by DH: "We made the choice at the beginning that we wouldn't beat them."
Me: "We can change our minds."
Me: "We can change our minds."

OH, the weather outside is frightful
12 inches the other day, another 4 at least, the driveway is gone, totally drifted over, negative wind chill.
#4 is still praying for snow every single meal and prayer and he looks to me with those big brown eyes with eyelashes that hit his eyebrows and says, "Mom. Heavenwy Fadda. He answas my prayas." (Mom, Heavenly Father. He answers my prayers." Why, yes, he does.
let it snow, let it snow, let it snow...

Explain to me
why is it when DH is out of town we get 6 inches of snow?
and it has to be removed from the driveway or else it turns into a sheet of ice and our van gets stuck.
Picture this: a woman, light blue coat, black hat, one green mitten, one red mitten, her sons boots and fogged up glasses.
UPDATED: How come when DH is out of town we get 6 inches of snow and I do the driveway with the tractor and then the clutch goes totally out on it and have to push the tractor from the end of the driveway back to the barn? I ate snow at least twice when we hit a patch of ice on the driveway and I slid and the tractor didn't. #2 had a really good laugh at me.
ibuprofen needed-and the boys did help
