They will want to do this again...

What do you do with a bad watermelon? (Does this make you think of the Klondike song?)

Paige decided that you dig into it with your hands and throw it at your brothers. My initial reaction was no, no, no! (about 3 seconds) However, I think I was beaten as soon as she had her hands in. Josh was right behind her chanting "fight, fight." Seth was a little slow to warm up to the idea but was easily convinced once he was able to throw it on them. Ahhh, what do our neighbors think?

Despite the mess I had to clean up later it was all worth it! To be able to hear your kids laugh that great belly laugh is worth almost anything. I also hope they remember how much fun they have with each other as they get older.

On a more disgusting note and as leverage later in life, I found Paige in the bathroom this afternoon trying to wipe her bum. She proudly told me that she had "pooped on the tree!" She was so proud of herself until I told her how disgusting that was and then she begged me "no tell anyone, not her daddy, not her Josh, not her Seth." Instead I will put it here for me to remember in the future ;)

I think the dog is a bad example :(
