::relax, it's just dirt::




I believe there is a time in every mother's life when she realizes she's just going to have to let go and...

let the children get dirty.

That was today for me.
I'm not a clean freak by ANY standards but the dirt on Luke's clothes was more laundry for me and who wants that?

But memories and boyhood won today... and rightly so.

And there's always Oxyclean.

And sometimes you gotta give up the light colored carpet for a nice shade of navy blue!

Love the pic of Luke and Lelia "washing up" :) so cute! My sis has 4 kids and has alwyas been sooo laid back with their dirt...wish I could have been more like that...not that I was a clean freak either...my happiest days as a mommy were when we had a backyard pool, the kids could live in their swimsuits and when they got dirty...into the pool they went...lol
