Socks...

Okay, so one of my frustrations is that my boys (especially the eldest, not to mention any names) always take off their socks and leave them in various places around the house. Everywhere I go there's a pair of dirty socks on the floor..... the living room, the basement, everywhere!! I can't quite figure out why they or he take them off so often and I'm guessing then goes and gets a brand new clean pair to put on??? So I had a thought one day. Instead of getting irrated and yelling at whichever boy to pick up his socks or more often than not just picking them up myself (which is the problem I suppose) I would turn it into something fun to help save what little shred of sanity I have left. So I decided to do a blog post about socks........ When Mark caught me taking pictures of socks on the floor..he said "Oh you are gathering evidence so that at allowance time we will have proof".. he had kind of this wicked smile on his face... he was loving it because it drives him crazy also.. so when I said no it's for my blog, he just kind of had this blank look on his face. You can imagine what he was thinking.. I get these looks a lot so I'm kind of used to it. He just says "okay" and probably added it to his list that he's keeping to show the judge someday to have me committed.. But hey he has to have proof right?? And who would pick up the socks then??
