MOM, you'll be so pleased with the new tires on the truck. And this time I had them put the white writing on the outside (they're not quite whitewalls but the name is in white).

I need to get the boys out in the driveway one of these hot afternoons to hose down the truck. No soapy bucket, I don't want it drying on the paint, but they could get rags out of the rag bag and wipe down the wet truck and take off most of the dirt. It would also mean they got a much-needed cleanup--I could put some body wash in a squirt gun and shoot at them and the truck and clean up everyone. After they finish the inevitable water fight everyone and thing should be clean.
