  • Kids and water?????


     


    Why do kids and water attract to each other so easily?  My favorite thing to do when I was growing up was get muddy.  Even at the age of 14 the highlight was when it had just rained and all the puddles were full.  We'd get our beat-up 3 wheeler ATV out, and go puddle-jumping.  When I went to college (in Alberta) it rarely rained the time of the year so the rare time it would rain, my best friend and I would go walking in it and puddle jumping.  I still find it hard to resist a good puddle.  ROFL


    And I've apparently passed this onto my kiddos.  'Cause here's what they did yesterday afternoon.  No most moms would have been horrified.  My first response was don't throw mud.  My second response was~~I'll be right back, and I went and got the camera and camcorder.  bwahaha


    The best picture was one that got missed (of course)  By accident or on purpose I'm not really sure MariMan decided to take a dive into this 1 foot deep mud-puddle.  He came up quite shocked.  LOL


    Kaylin beings she's the one whose truely got my genes.  Was of course the first one to attempt to sit in it.  And she ended up sitting in it for a good long while like it was a bath tub.  Its NOT its like 50 here.  But well, ummm their kids.  And kids and mud, and water are just natural magnets. 



    MariMan of course had to copy big sister.  And soon joined her.  OM did they have fun.  And YUCKY do I have a nasty load of laundry to do.  At one point HD lost his pants in the mud.  Quite literally.  He jumped in, jumped out, and the pants remained behind in their lovely ditch.   So after he fished them out he started washing them for me.  Yep, he washed them in the mud puddle wasn't that helpful?? bwahaha


    So, I guess this all goes to say I'm more then slightly insane. snicker  Or my kids are.


    The worst thing?  It was all I could to not join them.  It looked like so much fun.  But some small vestule of my adulthood told me that would be so cold, and I'd be muddy, and I'd make a mess of my house, and so I resisted.  And how stupid was that.  Dirt washes, but the puddles will soon be gone.  I think next time.  I'm gonna jump in!!
