Dirt

We have an area in our backyard where the yard slopes, and the water gathers.  Since we just had winter grass planted, the sprinklers are on a lot, so this area is pretty much pooled with water and mud constantly.  Yesterday the girls were playing outback, and when I called them in for dinner, to my surprise, they were completely muddy!!  I was not a happy momma!  I know I need to learn to chill, but I was feeling behind on getting them fed and bathed and whatnot already.  So, in the tub they went!

Fast forward to tonight.  Before going outside to play, I told them DO NOT get in that muddy area of the grass!  They played for awhile, and when I went to get them, I see this.......

 Haha...so cute!

 Hailey had buried a big brick in the soil, and

was telling Addy it was a bone.

 Addy said "I'm digging for my bone"....haha.

My first instinct was to say "I told you girls not to get in the mud".....but, I thought about it for a second.  They actually did listen to me, they just got into different mud....haha.  KIDS!!!  I love these two little stinkers so much.  I know I will look back on these days that seem so stressful at times, and miss them! 

Hailey was covered in it!  Jaren hosed her off

and she screamed "I'm freezing", and ran in the

house to get into the tub, where they ate

our dessert, dirt cake, which was rather fitting...lol.
