A messy day!

We were stuck at home Monday. Lincoln needed to take the pathfinder, so I was planning a day of cleaning and doing laundry. For some strange reason, there was no Tide...just an empty bottle sitting on the dryer. =) I decided that we would spend the day taking pictures, and the kids would love it. I had bought them two huge lollipops, and Wyatt knew they were hidden in the cupboard. We finally had some free time at home where they could eat them! I was ready....light meter, camera, a handful of paper towels (just in case!), and a plate to set any unwanted suckers on. We started on the steps, then moved to the grass...then we heard thunder. Wyatt is so scared of thunder....so we were tugged inside by him. It rained really hard for 20 mins, and then the sun came out. Perfect puddle weather! They jumped in the water, and dug in the mud.... and I just let them! On our way in the house, Wyatt picked up two handfuls of mud and proceeded to wipe his hands on his sister. She didn't mind...she looked at him adoringly as he did it a second time.

I did end up cleaning the house today...but mostly wiping up mud from the floor, and brown hand prints from the walls. =)
