Fun in the Mud
Ireen kept exclaiming, “this is the best day ever!” Perhaps that’s because it was the first day we had sunshine in about a week – we were all beginning to get cabin fever. Saturday morning the kids got on their bikes and started tearing down the lane. It wasn’t long before Ian found “his spot” – a lovely little mud hole. He stayed in this spot for well over 30 min driving in and out of it, dragging his poor scooter around and around. Even though I had just put new clothes on him and had just washed and dried the shoes he was wearing, I couldn’t bear to pull him away from his joyful bliss. At one point he accidentally fell into the mud on his bottom giving us all a good laugh.
When he got tired he desperately wanted us to push him. Tim humored him for a while and then came up with the idea of tying a rope to the bike and pulling him up and down the lane. Every time Ian passed his mud hole, he steered straight into it – no matter which side of the lane he was on. It was a good time for all of us and yes, I was able to get all the mud out of his shorts, pullover, socks and shoes.

Wow. Can’t believe how big Ian’s grown! Gift & Grace say “Hi!!” to Ireen!
I Love it!! He is a true southerner!!! Maybe one day we all can go mudding.
They are too cute! And I love how he sticks the tip of his tongue out as he concentrates – Chris does that and there are pictures of him doing it at Ian’s age
Love cute posts of the kids…and thanks for all your thought-provoking posts as well.
My pics scroll through as my screen saver and I just saw a picture of Irene from when you guys were at our house in TN…made me miss you more.
Love you guys,
Kate
Well, he is a boy for sure
Too cute! Play is always more fun when it involves mud. Thanks for your great posts…I’m really enjoying them.
