What do you do 4 days before Christmas???

All smiles--all fun!

Before mud got in some eyes.

You can tell who was dominating this mud fight.

Poor Trenty--with mud in his eye and his first hosedown...he was very unhappy here.


Bradley--with his first chunk of mud in his eye...he was very upset here.


Before the mud in his eye, Brad was happy to toss some at Rach.


still having fun...


Rach...at the end...still looking better than her brothers and NO mud in her eyes.

Guess who threw the mud in her brother's eyes???!!!



If the weather's been rainy, warm and humid, you head outside to walk around in your rain boots to stomp in puddles ....... at least, that was the PLAN. However, the kids found a small muddy area and decided to throw mud at each other. They thought it was a blast for awhile. Until Bradley and Trent got some thrown in their eyes. Then it was tears and wails and screams when they had to get hosed off before going in to get a warm bath. They said it was worth it, even if they had to be hosed off in December.
