I Can't Stop Laughing...


Many of you know that when I see someone fall (even my own kids), that I can't contain my laughter. I am laughing out loud right now even thinking about what I witnessed today in my own backyard. The kids asked me around 5;30 if they could go out to play...I told them it was VERY muddy back ther, but they didn't care. So I put on their coats and rain boots and sent them on their way. I was watching them from the kitchen window when I saw Matt swinging on the swing but on his belly. Next thing I know, I kid you not, I see him do what appears to be a somersault, and I thought "oh great, now I have to wash his coat again." But whatever, that's fine. What I saw next was just hysterical...he starts walking towards the house and by this time I have lost any and all control that I may have had before. His cute little face is covered, I mean COVERED in mud. He opens the door and says he needs help...and I told him to just hang on a second, I had to get the camera to capture the moment. He wasn't laughing (but I was still...I just couldn't stop and the harder I tried the worse it got!) I did get a very good picture and I will post it tomorrow or whenever my hubby gets home cause I can't figure it out right now. I'm still laughing! Just make a mental image and tomorrow you can see the REAL THING. Oh, where was Mikey during all of this? He was outside stuck in the mud himself. He was yelling that he needed help too, and I told him to stand up...I didn't have any shoes on and his reply was: "then go put your sneakers on!" He was covered in mud as well, but somehow managed to keep his hands clean and he wouldn't put them in the mud to push himself off the ground. So, I had to put my boots on and go rescue the child! Everyone is cleaned up and happy now. Even Matt has forgiven me for laughing uncontrollably at him. Unconditional love...what could be better???
