Two years later......

I could hear the boys outside squealing in mirth. The voices of the two helpers tried to halt whatever  made the little kids make those excited tones. My good guess would be the twins and their cousin Trey were playing with the sand and water again, having fun throwing and drenching each other. With their already noted activities, I know the kiddy swimming pool of the huge compound is their next destination. I just pray that they won't run and jump into the pool, but given their track record and one helper telling the boys not to run, the kids are on their merry way.

The knee deep pool is fifty feet away from the grape's garden, near Tara's house. More helpers would be foreseeing the kids so my presence won't be necessary at the moment. Free time like these, timeout from the kids, are best wasted making healthy foods for them. They love anything that got to do with chocolates and despise anything that got to do with vegetables, including my dear husband on that issue. So it's for me to find a way to trick their taste buds and delude their sight into appreciating more vegetables. They don't know though that I have been having online lessons how to make free pasta, cakes and chips made out of vegetables. As long as those treats tasted delicious, they wouldn't have to know that their snacks are made of broccoli and cauliflower. Best for that knowledge to be an unknowns by them. Even the burger patties and baked breads had green leafy vegetable on them, minced nicely. Their juices and jams homemade by me. The chocolate jam they prefer to slurp was also a homemade. 

Who is the wise mommy now, I thought, grinning at how I fool them. 

I hum my way to the kitchen to do some inventory of the kids food. The cookie closet stood ajar. This got me smiling at the boys' sneakiness of raiding their sweets. Sure enough half of the cookie jar's content were missing.  

Just then I heard the unmistakable voice of one of the boys calling  at me.

"MOMMY!!!!!"

I shuffled fast to where the voice is. 

There in the sitting room stood Tate who was scratching his butt with this irritated face. "Mommy my bum bum itchy," he complained.

"Come here let me see it," I beckoned him to the sofa. He climbed on my lap still trying to scratch his left butt cheeks. His wet clothes instantly drenched my sundress. "What have you, your brother and Trey been doing, baby?" I asked him as I pull down his swimming trunks.

"Pwaying mommy," he smiled trying to charm me.

"Playing again," I chuckled and frowned when I saw the distinctive lump bigger than my thumb on Tate's butt. A sign that an ant bit him.

"Itchy mommy," he complained.

"Oceana, can you please get the reliever ointment for bites and itchiness," I told the helper who accompanied Tate back to the house.

"Of course, I would have took care of it but the little mister wanted his mommy," Oceana chortled. Tate wrinkled his nose at her.

"Mommy onny," he chanted smiling at her.

"No need to be embarrass little man I had seen you naked," she called out even if she was in the storage room fetching the medicines. I snorted at that. Tate on the other hand pouted his lips tugging my hands back on his butt.

"Yes I will scratch it sweetie," I sighed, "this ant bite should stop you rolling on the ground alright or the tiny little ants will make you their snacks if you lie down on their home."
