White sheets and dirty feet

How did this happen I ask... What kind of mother let's her 8 year old child go to bed with feet that look like this?!? Well, the same mother who makes sure said 8 year old isn't hungry when she lays her head on that pretty white pillow, the one that makes sure her teeth have been brushed, that she ate 2 pieces of fruit today, the one that ALWAYS kisses her goodnight and tells her "I love you baby", the one that will choose FUN over HOUSEWORK any day of the week. So her feet are dirty, sheets can be washed. And maybe a barrette or rubber band never made it into the hair this day. But this day involved running around outdoors, having fun, shopping for school supplies and building a home for our new pets- 250 worms that mommy brought home (more on that later...). After all, it is Summer Vacation and isn't it only fitting that a sweet, angelic 8 year old girl with a heart as big as the sun be allowed to go to bed with dirty feet once in a while...? I say they should! Because that's the way I roll.......
