Beyond dirty!

Found these pictures on the camera.

Have you ever seen such dirt?

But they had a blast playing outside all day. Which is way more important than a bit of dirt.

Dirty boys

I watched several of my neighbor kids today and most of them were boys. So after an entire afternoon of playing you can imagine how dirty they were. When they all went home I had Dominic strip at the back door and go take a shower. He was insistent that he wasn't dirty enough for one and kept asking why he had to have one every single day.

"Dominic, you are nasty and I can't have you getting in bed that dirty!"

"But why? You aren't sleeping in that bed so why do you care how dirty it gets?"

He really doesn't get it, does he?

I found this on pinterest. It completely describes my son. He's wild and crazy. He's loud and very dirty. But I love that little boy so much.

We went to the zoo on Monday. On Tuesday when I picked up Dominic from school the first thing I noticed were his pants. The knees were completely green. When I asked him about it he said he's had to slide for a game at recess.

Wednesday the same thing happened. I told him that he needed to be more careful. And in this pained voice he informed me that he HAD to slide.

"Do you want me to be caught? I'm the slowest one in school. Because Lauren is sick today. I HAD to slide mom."

I sighed and hoped that Thursday and Friday would be different. Rather a hopeless wish.

It can't be blamed entirely on that game. His pants have a very wide variety of dirt on them.

Green - grass

Various shades of brown - I can only assume (and hope) it's dirt

Blue - pen?

Grey - pencil

White - glue or craft projects?

Purple - I'm at a complete loss

Red - I'm hoping it's not blood, but who really knows

I have four pairs of what use to be very nice khaki pants that are now little boy colored. I'm just hoping that I can get most of the stains out or he'll be wearing his version of camouflage to school tomorrow.
