    Yeah, I kinda felt the hissy rising up within me when I saw those feet, but, my cupboard doors and walls are clean now! I’m thinkin’ it’s a good trade. And you know they scoured those counter-tops when they were done with the higher stuff!

    My mother would have a hissy fit at the sight of feet on her counters. I, myself, encourage it if it helps get the work done. Gotta love the knife!

  3. I love it! Great pictures, great list of quotes, great boys! :-)

    Yep – gotta admit Ri and I were quite tickled looking at him scrubbing with that huge knife haging off his belt. Ri says she’s glad she wasn’t standing below him.

    I was so glad to see your Cowboy working with his knife at the ready. My guys recently got “real” big hunting knives. After recent coyote sightings they have been strapping on the knives to walk our dogs in the evening. LOL I hope they don’t get close enough to a coyote to need those knives!

    PS… good copywork too :)

  9. They are really working hard, but does he really need the knife to wipe down walls? Boys and their weapons…so funny!
