Doing what we do best

Today had to be a highlight of the week for the boys. I was in the kitchen getting the chili ready for the hotdogs we were having for lunch, and as I was putting it in a bowl to nuke it, it dropped out of my hand. Chili went everywhere and I burst out laughing. My daughter (3) didn't think it was so funny, as chili hit her in her mid-section and she had the "sharks" circling her, deciding who should attempt to lick it off of her first. My husband, looked at me like I was completely nuts, because he didn't realize I'd dropped the bowl, but then saw chili splattered on our daughter, the bottom cabinets by the stove, across the kitchen on the wall, on the countertops/upper and bottom cabinets, and on the undercabinet lighting. Hey, I did manage to grab the bowl before the "sharks" were able to dive in and eat it all. So, the "sharks" helped me clean up chili off the floor and the cabinet doors they could reach. I told my husband, "see, this is why we have dogs"! After I got all of that cleaned up and the boys ushered outside, we went out and ate on the deck. Some chips were dropped by our daughter and smashed on the deck. Leo hopped up there and gobbled them up before Cosmo had a chance. As I was walking towards the door to go inside with dishes, Leo ran in front of me, then, as if he'd stepped on that proverbial banana peel, did this weird back flip and landed upside down BECAUSE he'd almost missed those smashed chips and did a really sudden about turn to gobble them up. Of course, I didn't have the camera with me to catch that. It was hysterical. My boy is going to need a doggie chiropractor if he keeps his stunts up.
To round off their day of feasting on stuff they normally don't get, they got scrubbed clean and Cosmo got a hair cut. Leo was next, but the battery died on my clipper and because I need new batteries, it takes too long for me to want to wait for it to recharge. At least they're both smelling really nice.
