Muddy Carpet

The other day the boys were playing outside and forgot to check their shoes before coming in the house. I looked downstairs and saw this... The muddy footprints went all the way up the next two flights of stairs. I was so mad and so overwhelmed by how much work it would be to scrub it clean that I just started crying. I didn't yell at the boys, it was an accident. After almost an hour of scrubbing it actually started to look worse so I gave up and went upstairs to call Stanely Steemer to come clean them. Here is the finished product...

The cute thing was that while I was downstairs scrubbing the carpet the twins each made me a card. Here is Jackson's...Here is Josh's...

It was so sweet and thoughtful, I just couldn't possibly get mad. I did talk to them about checking their shoes before coming in but they felt bad enough I didn't need to say anything more. I told Jackson it was going to cost me $100 to clean up their mess, to which he replied "well then you better drive slow so you don't also have to give the policeman $100!" Hahaha, apparently Parker's ticket is still fresh in their minds. Hilarious, but he's sure right!
