My son came home the other day, jeans covered in mud. I asked what he was doing...PLAYING IN THE STREAM MOMMY, my jeans are cold and wet...
I asked if he had fun, and he beamed with a grin from ear to ear...YES, mud is cold, squishy and fun...
Boys need to be outside. No doubt it builds character and teaches them. I was a real girly girl when I was little, and boy, this little man is teaching me things I never knew about mud (things beside mud masks ;p)
Have a great weekend!

My 8 yo daughter went to a day camp this summer at a local historical farm venue. Last day, they went on a creek walk. I picker her up, covered from head to toe in mud with a mud mohawk on her head. (At least 2 pounds of mud on her head...) She also had a big smile on her face. Once I convinced her mother that she would not die, we all had a good laugh...
It's San Fran and they're talking about wussification, too funny.
