What's Under There?

Yesterday the boys were playing in the kitchen and living room while I put laundry away.  Bennett was looking under the fridge saying "Memm-emm" over and over.  I had to go see what was going on!

This is how I found the boys.  They had tried countless spatulas and wooden spoons to get what I determined was an "M & M".  Here is what I heard while I watched and let them have their quest...

Logan: "Mom, Benny said there's an M & M down here so we're trying to get it out"

Benny: "Memm-emm!"  (Then Bennett got his own spoon to help)

Logan: "No don't, Benny, I will get it" (spoken like a true oldest-child)

Logan: "Ewww...I don't want this dust" 

Mom: "Yeah, its dirty under there...let me just grab that dust...oh and hair...yuck" (mom is mortified and needs to clean under fridge)

Logan: "Oh, I got it!  Its not an M & M.  Its a VITA-MIN!"

Okay, I guess I felt a little better that the kids were searching under the fridge for a VITAMIN and not an M & M, but still I felt a little of the mom-guilt (I mean, how hungry ARE these kids if they are searching under the nasty fridge for food?!).

They quickly retreated back to reading books after the let-down of the treasure under the fridge being just a vitamin.  I will be cleaning under the fridge and stove this week.  :)

Benny loves to read these books all by himself.
