What ever happened to play clothes vs. school clothes. I remember having to wear collared shirts and proper shoes to school, 'cept for gym class, (I still remember my 3rd grade gym class locker combination. Freaky, eh?) and then changing into "play clothes" at home. One didn't dare leave the house in "play clothes" unless one was going out to play...never to school, church, or even the store with mom. (Has anybody figured out yet why it is acceptable for moms to use "mom spit" to clean children? That is just sooooo wrong!)
"Every kid has to eat their pound of dirt."
Tastes even better with a little bit of that arts & crafts paste on top.
I find my house stays much neater and cleaner if the kids are OUTSIDE as often as possible.
Mine too!!!!
And my daughter changes into "play clothes" when she gets home from school, and I don't mind the extra laundry.
