One fine sunny afternoon, with a book in hand, I took the kids out in the backyard to play...the sprinkler was already on (we were trying get the grass to grow!) & we were all in our bathing suits.
Desperately trying to get some sun on my legs, I plopped into the lawn chair & began reading...my summer read is Jane Austen's Pride & Prejudice and (who could blame me) I got soo into my book that I lost track of time & all knowledge of what my children were up to...
I have no doubt who instigated this little charade but nevertheless both kids were completely covered in RED....Oklahoma....mud!!!
I took their pictures & then had the pleasure of hosing them off... They enjoyed that part as much as the mud.
It is really cute how they were painting each other! They didnt even look up when I left to get the camera.
No chance of grass this summer. We gave up after this!!!
It's hard to take pictures while hosing your kids off with the water hose!
It did worry me (after the fact) that so much was going on right in front of me & I, being so captivated by Jane of course, was oblivious to it all!..I'll have to work on that before they are teenagers!

I don't know if I would be furious or just let the kids enjoy being kids. I was like that when I read the Twilight series and it got to the point when I had to promise myself I would only read during naptime and after the kids were in bed. Needless to say, I stayed up too late and snuck in readings while they finished eating meals. What are we going to do when our little girls are in school? AHHHHHH!
Ahhh, I love it! Both Jane Austen and the muddy mowglis. Thank heavens they have such a cool mom who lets them get away with their shenanigans ;)
I love it that is great. They are so funny.
Oh my gosh!! That's hilarous!!! I love the pictures of them getting all the mud washed off. Hahaha!
