I'm going to preface the above title, "Swamp Hole" with a little story. One day we were all in the kitchen and I look over and Maison's scratching his backside. From the angle I a was at, it looked like he was in it up to his elbow! I said, "Dude, what are you doin'?" He looked at me like I was completely stupid and says in all seriousness, "I got swamp hole." I couldn't help but laugh and asked, "what is swamp hole?" He said, "you know, when your butt gets all sweaty and itchy." Now, I can honestly say I've never heard that expression in quite that way. I think the reason why I laughed was because it made me think of "swamp a-double snakes", ("snakes" is code for the letter S, and double obviously meaning two.) which I hadn't heard in years! So I think we can all agree that swamp hole is not fun.
So with that said, let's discover one way a person can get major swamp hole. Papa Ed was home for the week and the kids wanted to go over and help in the yard. (So far, so good) I agreed and took the kids over. Later that afternoon, Papa called and said, "you might want to bring a change of clothes when you come over. The kids got a little dirty today." I really didn't think much of it because kids get dirty when working in the yard. "A little dirty", was putting it WAY TOO MILDLY! I packed up some clothes and headed over to my folk's house. When Squizzy and I got out of the van, I could hear the kids playing on the side of the house. I walked over and am greeted with the sights below!
What the h-e-double hockey sticks (double hockey sticks is code for 2 L's) happened? My Dad said, the kids might have gotten a little muddy! I know for a fact that when Ryan and I were little there was no way in H-E-DOUBLE HOCKEY STICKS that would have ever happened!
This whole week Jason was in Canada. When I showed him these pictures he said..."So, how did you handle that?!" He knows me all too well! Surprisingly I didn't freak or even really care. However, if that had been in our yard, well those kids would be burried in their swamp hole! My mom was a little more vocal. I hope for my sake, my mom laid into my dad after we left.
Mind you, it wasn't too warm out and there was no way I was taking the kids in the house until they were hosed off. We hosed them off nude in the front yard infront of God and everyone!
Little Izzy McSquizzy. She is still a little peanut only weighing in at 15.5 lbs which puts her in the 5% for weight! Her head and height are in the 50%, You can really see her to bottom teeth in this picture. She is definately not affraid to use them and when I say use them I really mean USE THEM! Iz is definately an eating machine! She will eat anything that is put infront of her.
