I had unwittingly prevented myself from being at the scene of the crime by naively thinking I could quickly take a shower and get ready for the day.
As I walked downstairs I was greeted by a):
Then noticed b):
In case you can't tell from the pictures...that is a) a soaking wet boy and b) a kitchen floor underneath water.
Apparently, while I spent a few precious moments on myself, Curtis decided to HOSE DOWN my entire kitchen with the sprayer from the kitchen sink. By the time I arrived on scene, the counter top, stovetop, fridge-top, and floor were underwater. The two kitchen rugs were completely soaked through, all papers within a 5-foot radius were in tattered ruins, and the garbage can (under the sink) was a-sloshing (no, I still don't know how he did it).
Oh, and his hands looked like this:
I took a deep breath, counted to ten, breathed again, grabbed the camera, grabbed some towels (lots of towels), and decided to let him live.
It's a darn good thing that kid is cute.

And he is stinking cute! The pruney hands are hilarious! Oh I so understand the situation, Jack loves water.
He is a cutie! I still tell Landen that he is lucky to be alive after some of the stuff he pulled. Looks like you have one just like him. :)
Oh no! What a mess. I used to use that "good thing he's cute" line with Caleb. It doesn't work so much any more now that he's twelve! I mean, he's still cute and the troubles he causes are an entirely different kind, but he should know better by now, right?!
It's not even my kitchen floor and I feel totally stressed out right now. You'd think I'd be used to it by now...but moments like that STILL through me for a total loop!! I'm proud of you for letting him live!
Amy! How long of a shower do you take? The kids fingers were pruned? LOL! I love it, it reminds me of my boys. They are just a whole nother breed.
Water and that boy seem to have a common thread... You are hilarious! Great pictures Amy!
