Mud slingin'
















They may not be politicians but they sure know how to sling some mud. We are replanting the side yard and Michael thought this looked like a kids dream Family Home Evening activity. It was! Only Carter wimped out after just a minute, in his defense the sprinklers were COLD!

I am going to have to remember that next time I tear up some grass! Kids dream...but mothers nightmare! You are a good Mom!!

No wonder my kids want you as their mother!! I need to relax, any suggestions?

Great idea Michael, nothing like a little mud slinging to work out your frustrations! Becky, I can't believe you won't let your 21 pre-schoolers try it. I'm sure the mothers wouldn't mind a bit!!

Mud football anyone?! Looks like fun, but I wouldn't want to clean them up or do their laundry! You are a nice mom.

Did you and Michael join in??

Oh my goodness, that looks so fun! I know Ty and Colin would get a kick out of that. Friday night mud wrestling at Noftle's. There is no home football game this week so what better way to spend a Friday evening! JK

Next time invite the Worsham's :) That looks so fun! You are amazing, I am not sure I could handle the clean up after. I am sure the kids will remember that forever!!! Shelli

Too fun! I remember something similar with my brothers involving a snow sled, hot summer evening, and a horse...dirt and dust EVERYWHERE! Our shower looked like the mud slingin' arena!!! But the memories your family made that night will last a lifetime. A mess can always be cleaned.... what an awesome mama you are!
Love,
Katie

Brenda said...

There you go, being all better than us. Yeah, we get it, you're a great mom. Seriously, looks like fun, though.
