SOBBMGH

The paint drama from earlier in the day just kept on going.  When Nate gets home from work early enough we take the dogs on a walk together.  When we left out the door the kids were putting a movie on to watch.  How much trouble could they get into while a movie was on?  Apparently quite a bit!  The kids seem to be getting better at covering up the trouble though because we didn't even find out about this one until we were all piled on my bed for scriptures and prayer.  I guess the kids decided it was a good time for a confessional.  My kids are very cleaver.  They didn't start their story with the trouble they had found themselves in while Nate and I were on a walk, they started out with their solution.  Which was:

Mom, I am starting a new business called SOBBMGH: Save Our Butts Before Mom Gets Home.  I started laughing so hard I started to snort.  Then they told me why there was a need for such a business.  Apparently Jordyn decided to help out by taking a paint can back to the back garage.  The other kids told her not to and come in.  Well, if anyone knows Jordy, she is stubborn.  She proceeded and was tripped by the pool brush pole, that "jumped out in front of me."  Crashing to the ground the gallon of paint went.  The lid wasn't properly on and it went all over the cement and all over her.  She started crying and headed for the house and apparently tried to walk in sideways with the side that wasn't covered in paint showing.  When she turned the kids saw that she was covered in green paint and looked like an "alien."  The kids jumped into operation "Mom will never know about this" mode.    Funny how they are more afraid of me than they are of Dad. They got out the hose and scrubbed the concrete and threw Jordyn in the tub and scrubbed on her and her clothes.  It was like it never happened.

Emma decided to give Jared a cut of the business and they even agreed upon a percentage, Jared gets 30%, and they shook on it.  This business has a jingle, a logo and plans for fliers.  They even have cleaning products, an emergency kit and Emma also makes house calls because she is a "professional" now.  She also reveled some of the other "Jordyn catastrophes" that she has had to deal with including an entire bottle of pink nail polish that somehow exploded all over the bathroom and Emma only had 10 minutes to hide the evidence.  Something I was never told about until now....hmmm I have been wondering how we went through a bottle of nail polish remover so quickly.....  These other messes she is going to add to her resume.  It is really hard to be mad at your kids when they are so inventive and cute.  If you've got a big mess on your hands, you know who to call. :0)
