We had a big storm roll through here last night, so the low-lying areas on our property had quite a bit of standing water today. I was out of the house this morning for a meeting at my office, so the kids were cooped up inside with the babysitter for a few hours. As a mom of two boys, I know that fresh air = better behavior (notice I didn’t say “Good Behavior”…just better!). Therefore, as soon as I walked in the door (and before I even changed out of my “work clothes”), I dressed the kids in their boots and their coats and headed outdoors. Naturally, they gravitated to the water…
Kind of like jumping in ditches, this was way more fun than any organized activity or expensive toy.
Unfortunately, the fun only lasted about 10 minutes. Once Casey’s boot was sucked off by the mud and he face-planted into the cold water, the games were off…
One more load of laundry to add to my list!
