to be a kid...

I sent Ollie outside the other morning to work off some energy and give me some time to get the house cleaned up. This is what he did with his unsupervised time. My initial reaction when I saw his lovely mud puddle, was to shut down his fun. But I realized when I went to get him out of the mud, that this is what kids do. I can hose him off and put him in the bath.

I remember the feeling of mud between my toes from being a kid, so I let him have his fun.... I even let max join in for awhile... dirt does not kill children... max did not get to play as much, he kept trying to eat the dirt, so I put a stop to his fun pretty quick...



When they were done I stripped them down and hosed them off in the kiddie pool. Max did'nt mind, Ollie did'nt take to it very well... then we were off to the bath.... than I made a good lunch of mac and cheese and put two happy, clean, well fed boys to bed for the afternoon....
