When Life Hands You Dirt...

Make a mud bath!! The boys had THE most fun with this activity. Grandma Bonnie did not think this was such a good idea but I think that is because she could not hear their squeals of extreme joy as they played. They perfected skiing and even made a few mud angels. Noah didn't even mind the hosing off afterwards, Benjamin was not such a fan of that. They have asked to do this about a hundred times but I am pretty sure daddy wouldn't be so happy about their burrowing a hole in to our already troubled backyard so I am trying to hold off. I know - so mean.

My father-in-law figured it out (prices circa 1980):
$2/hr. for a babysitter
<$0.25/hr to run the hose

He would drop Matt and his brother in the backyard and turn on the faucet :) I see that mud has the same appeal to today's lil' guys!
