So the other day my friend Adrian watched the kids for me, and when I came back to get them, this is what I found:


And then I took this lovely video:
At that point, I had to turn off the camera so I could strip Chloe's clothes off and hose her down before I took her inside to go to the bathroom.
Our other news is that we are finally getting a house! Here is a picture of the house that I won in an online auction:

Of course, we had seen the inside before I bid, and after I won we got an inspection to make sure that it was all good. The only problem was that it is bank owned, and the bank didn't think that my winning bid was high enough. So we are having to pay $24k higher than we first thought. Bummer, huh? But we still think it is a good deal and I can't wait for the kids to have a real backyard to play in. Yes, they will probably just go make their
own mud hole!
Hope everybody's doing well. We sure miss our cousins!!! xoxoxoxo
