Water milk and other schenanigans!

Before Luke was in school we alternated days we worked and who watched the kids. So, scarily the kids were left home alone with their father. Don't get me wrong Luke is the best dad around, sometimes just a little too creative. There's this show on tv where they have an obstacle course and whoever makes through all the obstacles in the fastest time becomes an official ninja warrior or something like that. One of the obstacles is climbing up two walls with your hands and feet (Warning: Never let the boys in your life watch this). Luke decided they all need to start training to be ninja warriors. First order of business, scaling up the wall. Upon demonstrating this "skill" to the boys Luke managed to put a hole in the wall with his rearend. "It slipped off the stud." As if this was the only thing wrong with the situation. We frequently run out of milk, somedays the boys could drink a gallon and then there's weeks we barely drink any. So keeping up with the fluxuations of our milk intake can prove to be difficult. Apparently one afternoon at lunchtime the boys wanted some milk but there was only about a half a glass total of milk left. Luke in all his creative thinking made "water milk." 1/4 milk, 3/4 water. To
this day it is a big request in our household. Not very nutritional, but very good on milk conservation. I can't waiit 'til the kids get older and we get to share these stories with them. About how much fun they got to have when they stayed home with their dad and all the crazy things they came up with.
