One of the best things about great weather is that the kids don't have to stay cooped up in the house. We have had some horrible cases of cabin fever here for the past month.
Yesterday, I let Summer and Camryn go out back to play while I cleaned up the kitchen. After a few minutes, I looked out the back door to check on them. They were over to the side of the yard, bent down digging in mud. My first reaction was to yell for them to stop.
"Girls! Get out of that mud!"
Okay, now, imagine the saddest, most dejected, yet adorable, faces you have ever seen, staring back at you.
"But Mommy..." Summer said sadly. "We love mud."
The way she said it melted my heart. Mud is some pretty cool stuff. I totally got it.
"Eh. Um. Yea. It's fun, isn't it? Okay well, um. Don't get it in your hair, okay?"
Parenting fail.
But they had a good time :)
