New after-park tradition.

Tuesday mornings are park days. Not that we don't hit up a park several other times in a week, just that on Tuesdays we meet up at Long Lake Park (wish I could insert Fisher's pronunciation here, something like wong-wake-pahk) with Fisher's classmates. Long Lake Park happens to have sand, and the kids spend most of the time in it, digging, scooping. Covered head to toe in dirt when we arrive back home, I decided one week to throw them in the tub with shaving cream to scrub their filthy shoes. Now they look forward to it, and I look forward to having lunch with clean children rather than filthy ones.
