MUD!

I have a dirt pit for a back yard with some weeds and rocks. I had sent the kids outside while I loaded and packed the car for our trip to Silver City and on to Phoenix this week, when I heard the water running outside...
As I walked to the screen door, I saw Dallin and Clara with their rain boots on, making a mud hole. All of my instincts were telling me to grab the hose and the kids before the inevitable occurred, but I remembered Mason saying I was too uptight with the kids being clean and staying out of the water, so this was the result! Happy, muddy kids. I don't think their clothes will ever recover!
