Singin' In the Rain (or... sunshine)

We really need to invest in more umbrellas.  Not because of rain, but because they make such fantastic toys.

The boys think getting to play with the umbrella is F U N. 

I've had to introduce a "No Playing With Umbrellas in the House" decree.  But that's a story for another blog post.  sigh.... 

We've reached the point where the boys have to each have their own of everything.  Two of everything.  Exactly the same. 

Or all H-E-double-hockey-sticks breaks out.

You might be thinking, "Oh Mariah.  What a fantastic time to teach your boys the important lifeskill of sharing umbrellas.  You really should be teaching those boys to share."  sigh, sigh.  tsk, tsk.

Well to you I say, "Shut up."

That's right.

Shut up and watch me buy two umbrellas.

Their wives can teach them how to share when they take over.

Okay, not really.  I make them share the umbrella. 

And we don't say, "shut up".
