I'm not sure where the term came from, but that's what Little Lion was making today as he played in the mud! Our 3 foot ditch in front of our house became a 6 foot swamp thanks to the 6+ inches of rain we got in 24 hours! But on the bright side . . . I didn't have to remember to water my newly planted flowers! *grin*
Okay, before I go on, I must explain Little Pumpkin's attire! I've admitted openly before that I am not a fashion guru ~ not even a novice! But I do try to dress my children in updated clothing.
Shockingly, Little Pumpkin is already beginning to express herself ~ mostly through accessories since she really has no choice in the actual outfit yet!
This morning while I was fixing my hair she got into my "hair accessories" drawer and pulled out every headband she could find and had them around her neck as necklaces! I really need to get a picture of it . . . this was not the first time!
After dinner tonight, I was working on last minute MOPS stuff (our meeting is in the morning!), so Daddy Lion was taking the kids outside to play. She refused to put on her shoes or even walk past the threshold until I put this pink headband on her head. . . she already had the ponytail with the yellow bow in!
The rubber boots were a must because of the mud!Poor little rag-a-muffin. Even Daddy Lion asked me not to take a picture!
And Little Lion looking stylish himself!He gets those GQ poses from his daddy.
The swamp!
What team work! He even helped her up and out when she fell in!Such a great big brother!
My first words to Little Lion were "you can go in the mud with your boots on, but don't get your clothes muddy". Can I even believe those words came out of my mouth! I mean WHAT was I thinking?!? Besides the fact that this was the first day he had ever worn the shirt and shorts! *sigh* Loving boys! Keep saying over and over ~ it's washable, it's washable!
Oh, a present for me?!? I'm pretty sure she said "baull"!Speaking of newly planted flowers, (way back in the first paragraph ~ welcome to my mind) *giggle* Check out how well they are doing! I'm so ecstatic about my butterfly bush!
The blooms are so much bigger than I expected for this year! I'm really praying I don't kill this one ~ I think this may just be my favorite flowering bush. 
Even a few of my Indian Hawthorns are blooming! I thought their season was over ~ praisin' Jesus for sweet blooming surprises!
ok lets talk a minute here.....First and formost, MAKE Mark STOP THE MUSIC! Unless of course he wants to pay the bill for any therapy I may need. I STILL can not get it out of my head! And then, there it is, WAITING for me as your page comes up....the music is already playing!! Secondly, you win the mom of the year award letting them get all muddy in their cute and new clothes because really that is what it is all about right? Eventhough I would have felt the same! MOST importantly... not the mud; but SNAKES.............this coming from the Creek Mom we KNOW about the snakes!!!!!!!!!!
