No, it wasn't a rainy day. No, the children weren't bored. Mommy was having a hard time getting all the chores done. I figured my three little elves could help me with some of the more simple tasks during these last couple weeks of pregnancy. My completely brainless thought: "Matching Socks is practically a game! The kids LOVE matching things! They do puzzles and play Memory...how is this any different?!?! I might even be able to sit on the couch!" So after laying down all the ground rules (like a good Mom), I handed over a basket full of single socks to be matched and folded. Approximately 27 seconds later, it looked like my washing machine threw up in the playroom. Thomas, for good measure, also swiped his hand down the bookshelves...because he is good at it...and he likes to do that type of thing.
hahahaha...on my WORD!! You have SO much patience, Annie. No wonder you have 4 kids under 4. I think you are the only person I know who could handle it beautifully.
