mike fixed our washing machine sunday night. i'm in laundry heaven! no longer will i lose two days a week at my parents' house, washing clothes. :D

i'm sitting here, working on a kit, when my four year old comes running out of the laundry room, yelling 'the washing machine is shaking! come on guys, come on!' i didn't think anything of it- we have a front load washer and my kids love to watch it (i don't blame them, i like watching the clothes go around too, lol).

the washing machine is in it's final spin, and i hear, from my laundry room, all three of my kids going 'ahhhhhhh' in that wobbly shaky voice which only means one thing.

they are hugging my washing machine.

yep. my kids are easily amused.

That's really cute! Too bad you didn't have camera in hand!

[Nonnie917]

LOL LOL LOL! Ah the simple things that keep children amused. This is a funny story and you need to do a LO of that scene.

[JennStar]

ROFLOL!! Remember talking into the fans when we were kids. That made the best sounds.

[Rynonut Mom]

So they can hear the shake noise in their voice, right? LOL!

That is hilarious! :) You always have such good stories... you really should start working on a book! :)

[chloe]

LMAO, can't wait to have kids to have such funny stories to tell! ;-)

[AngelinaS]

Heehee! And to think the only thing I'm hearing my kids saying today are "farter" "I know you are, but what am I?' "doodoo head".:embaresse :whatchuta

that really did make me LOL -- our old washer had a funny habit of taking a walk across the floor on loads of towels

ange, I had to corral the mouth of one my kids who just could NOT quit inserting "poop" in EVERY conversation. told her she would have to do an extra job every time she said it -- it stopped pretty fast!

[AngelinaS]

Good idea, Christine! I tried the old "send 'em to sit in time out in the bathroom" when they have a potty mouth...but it doesn't work when they BOTH do it at the same time (they're not allowed in my bathroom). We have a "Behavior Wheel" for fighting with each other, and I consider that fighting, even if they're kind of giggling when they do it. Today's spin had Annie cleaning her brother's room and Ben giving Annie one of his favorite toys for the rest of the week! We shall see if it works...tomorrow is another doodoo...I mean DAY! ;) :D

[Angela]

Hee hee!!!

this is true, isn't it? i've decided that i have three complete goofballs- not a serious one in the bunch. and they all take after their father. :D
