Things I never said before moving to the desert....

Today, I gave Lynnie a little pat and was greeted with a poof of dirt.  She informed me that they had played "dust storm", which I can only assume means coating-your-siblings-very-thoroughly-with-dirt.  So, I had to inform the kids that "dust storm" is probably not a good game to play.  No WONDER I can't seem to get the dirt out of this house!  It blows in through the windows and doors and then the kids carry it in all over their bodies.  I miss clean floors!!!
