Postcards :: No. 4

Mud day!!! The “ digging spot” was turned into a mud wallowing hole…and wallow they did. (With complete Momma and Auntie approval by the way!!!)

While we came prepared for many different sorts of adventures we did not foresee such a muddy one! Hence the (joyful) wearing of the boys clothes…somehow it made it even a bit more fun!!!

A pretty penny is paid for mud treatments in the spas of New York City…but here in the Bronx these cousins enjoyed fully the immense benefits of all that mud. It was therapy for the senses, the mind, and the imagination. Oh…the joys of mud.

After many rinses!, and nice warm baths we had a very happy, very content, very fulfilled couch-ful of cousins…with magnificent pores!!

And no…I don’t think we were crazy! We stripped them down at the door and hosed down the trampoline and the clothes outside…as for washing all those muddy things…well what do they make those amazing fancy dancy washers for!!!

When’s the last time you have loved some mud!?!

What joy! I love a mama who allows that kind of play. We loved the mud, yesterday, too (maybe not QUITE as thoroughly as yours did):

Total fun! Good for you for letting go and letting them have wonderful memories:-)
so much fun!!! isn't it funny how many mamas run screaming if a speck of dirt appears on clothes or hands! they are missing out on a great time!
Never have. But I'm beginning to rethink that.
ahhh! I think I am going to have many days like this pretty soon. Hopefully i can train my boys not to play in the mud in their nice clothes!
Hannah: I think you are now ready for the oatmeal sandbox
So neat! I have let me children do this before.. I don't think, though, that I was ever able to get the mud completely out.
You are a fun Mama!
Warm wishes

You're one of those cool moms!! Your children will never forget the moment that you said YES to mud! What a memory, with the pictures to prove it.
My little Lady - Maddy (5) was peeking over my shoulder as I was reading this post and she said, wow they are REALLY muddy!!!! I have just found your blog and its like a breath of fresh air, very inspiring!

l am so glad to see this. My children are 33 and 34 now but this is the sort of thing we did with our children. These days people in England are so worried about their children getting dirty or catching something..you would not see this sort of play going on. I was SO pleased to see these images. made me smile. Thanks for posting them.xlynda
I think that sometimes it is good to give some time to the kids and let them do what they want. I think that can be good for them to have better concentration upon every act of their life.

Muddin' is most fun when you are wearing something you are not suppose to be wearing!
