Mud

Today was the day that I have learned to embrace the mud!

I decided that there was more value in watching the kids discover how slippery wet mud can be then trying to save the few sparse pieces of grass there is left.

Because really....... if you cant beat it.... then you might as well join it!

The kids spent most of our rainy outdoor time squishing and scraping the mud into a giant pile and then jumped into it.

After all..... it is one of my favorite sayings......

A dirty kid is a happy kid!

Getting everyone dressed for outdoors on a rainy day always takes a while. I always start with the big kids and work my way down. When I made it to the babies I dressed Kai first and plunked him outside the door where he always waits until I am ready before he crawls away. Next I dressed Rosie and put her just outside the door beside Kai while I put on my boots and coat. The two of them just sat there and stared at each other.

Kai sat and watched while Rosie poked at his hat, hair, nose and finally poking him in the eye.
That's when she leaned over and gave him a kiss! It was the cutest thing ever.
This could be the beginning of a beautiful thing!
