When life gives you puddles, you should jump in with both feet!
Yes, I let 3 of my 4 kids wallow in the mud for much of the afternoon today. (The 8 year old had homework to do.)
This picture portrays my 4 year old's personality perfectly!
So, the puddle fun started off innocently enough, but because we're talking my children here, of course things had to turn crazy!
No worries, though, Sister to the rescue!
Then this happened while she was helping him get the boot on:
So, what did Little Girl think of all the craziness?
I know, Baby, your brother and sister are crazy!
Yeah, just laugh at them, that's about all I can do most of the time!
Or join them, that works, too!
Somebody I don't know walked by in the street about the time this happened:
The lady gave me a strange look. What can I say? My kids like to wallow in the mud like pigs!
The bath tub and my washing machine definitely got a work out tonight getting those 3 clean, but the mess was so worth it for their smiles and laughter!
