Rain... again

It's a struggle to keep Grace inside, especially when the boys go running out to play in the mud puddles. I was holding Joshua when I heard the door slam. "One of you girls go out with Grace." (The boys are not responsible enough to keep an eye on her.)
"I did it last time."
"I just took a shower."
"It's still raining."
"I'll give you a dollar if you go."

So they flipped a coin.

"No, heads mean you go."
"Na ha, I picked heads so that means I pick who goes."

Oh, whatever, I got up in a huff, irritated at their unhelpfulness (is that a word?) and Joshua and I went out to wander around the muddy yard with Grace. But I'm so glad I did. Rain doesn't exactly make me happy, so it does my heart good to see my kids get so much joy out of something so messy.

And... I got some good pictures!





So whats an afternoon of playing in the rain without getting into a mud fight?


"Jooooe!"
