I don't care how dirty the face is, I still just wanna kiss it!

The "little" cousins

Hannah, Stella, Brynlee, Tatem

My daughter is not the kind who likes to follow the rules...

..so when we went to the COSI Science Center

in Columbus Ohio with her cousins...

Hannah

...she decided she didn't need to wear a rain slicker

like all the other obedient kids.

As you can see below,

she isn't pleased

that I don't let her get away with much!

Still a little ticked.

Aunt Whit, Uncle Tom, Aunt Lindsay, Uncle Miles

Stella, Hannah and Keith

Brynlee

Trying to get a picture of all our little yellow ducks.

Yes, "trying". Obviously not succeeding.

Lindsay is attempting to turn Hannah around and Whitney is hopelessly chasing Tatem.

Stella was left wondering why the crap no one else could stand still for 2 seconds for a simple picture!

"PLEASE REMOVE THE YELLOW RAIN SLICKER

BEFORE PROCEEDING INTO THE PLAY AREA"

I'm telling you. She's a big time rule-breaker!

Motor Boat. Motor Boat. Go so slow.

Motor Boat. Motor Boat. Go so fast!

Motor Boat. Motor Boat. Step on the gas!

Motor Boat. Motor Boat. C R A S H !!

Do Not Distrub. Elmo is on!

Well...that's a load of crap!

I let Tatem play outside right before dinner. Yes, she wasn't wearing pants. Don't judge me. She made her way over to the kids pool, jumped right in, then commenced playing all around the yard. Up and down the slide. On and off the swing. Riding the trike, pushing the trike.

She finally came to the door when she had had enough of that heavy, wet, gross, soggy diaper. And to my surprise, there was also a wet, gross, soggy load of crap in it. I was tempted to turn the hose on and just hose her off out there. But then I realized I'd have to actually blog that as part of the real story and not just the made-up part and then for sure you all would be judging me. So instead, I locked her out.
