Your name is "Mud"

I am not sure where that phrase came from, but I remember my Dad saying it to us when I was a kid. I am pretty sure we were in trouble when he said it. However, not really the point. So I will move on. As you can see, we have a big sand pit in our backyard. I am pretty sure there are some other things out there too but the kids really only focus on the sand. It is the messiest thing out there so of course they do. Plus it feels awesome on my tile floor which is where the majority of the sand has ended up. This week we found a way to make sand even more fun *drumroll please* add water to make mud!! If you need a way to occupy an afternoon, I recommend it. If you hate messes, I don't. The fun actually lasted a couple days and then caused a tantrum because I was sick of 3 outfits per day. But I am sure that memory will pass and we will try again soon. So if anyone is bored this week, come on over and make some mud pies. Seriously. Oh and one more thing, if anyone has a chance to listen in on a conversation between 2 two year olds, I recommend that as well. For those of you who have not had that lovely experience, let me play it out for you via slideshow:

"Watering the ball Will!"

This one was just general chattering about water/mud.

Will laughing "water splashed me!"

Notice her forehead after a mutual mud flinging incident.

"Making footprints Mommy!"

"Here Will, I got you some mud"

After caking him with mud: "Will, you have mud on your shoulder"

"You need more mud on you"

Not a lot of talking from Will, Claire kinda dominates conversation.
