MUD-BROTHERS

Some people like to bathe their children at the end of the day in clean water, me--I like to throw my children out in the backyard with water and dirt for a mud bath. It's great for your skin, right? O-Town and Liv played out in the mud last night for an hour, and they absolutely loved each other for every minute of that hour, it was magical.

Trying to clean up the aftermath; hosing down the fence they "painted," hosing them and the backyard down, and pulling out sticks, bark dust, and rocks from their hair for twenty minutes, was worth every minute.








I love Liv's muddy version of the Hitler mustache.

All I have left to do is to clean out all of the sand toys and shovels they used to make mud pies, because tomorrow we are headed off for our annual Santa Cruz Beach Trip. I love this time of year!
