More Mud

I seriously think it needs to stop raining here in Cincinnati.  The backyard is a total mud pit.  And of course my kids love playing in it.

Once again, they came in covered from head to toe.  "Guys," I said.  "Can you stay out of the mud?"

"But it's fun!"

Apparently all of the other neighborhood kids think it's fun, too.  They showed up on my front porch with mud splattered up their legs.

I got out the dish washing bins.  I filled those things up with water.  Then I lined them up on the porch.  "Okay, kids," I said.  "Wash up!"

They did.  And when they were done, I had eight bins of brown water.

Now for the dog...

  2. The spring is hard when you own dogs. I'd forgotten about kids!

  4. There must be something about the appeal of mud that we lose as adults.
