Apparently it’s not only pigs that are happy in mud! We’ve been doing a big backyard project and one weekend there was a huge pile of dirt in the backyard. The kids wanted to play on it and I knew things were going to get dirty!

Yep. I told the kids they had to hose themselves off before going inside. Rookie mistake. They hosed themselves off alright – and hosed the dirt pile too!!

The dirt pile quickly became a mud slide and they thought it was the greatest thing ever.

Maxwell quickly bailed – he doesn’t like to get that dirty! But Spencer and Samantha were rolling around in it! They were having too much fun for me to care. It was hilarious!!

I have to admit – it looked pretty fun. I kinda wanted to hop in there too! ha! Nothing more fun than getting dirty!!

Of course, the only reason we got to go to London was thanks to GJ and Susan holding down the fort back home! They kept the kids fully entertained while we were gone and we cannot thank them enough!

School wasn’t back in session yet so they had full days to fill up. Susan took them to McWane…

they all went to dance together…

and they even got to go to Chuck E Cheese!

GJ got them over to flag football…

and hosted the best sleepover ever!

Not sure there was a lot of sleeping based on these sleepy faces in the morning!

She took them to a movie…

and kept them fed and happy!

I’m not sure the kids missed us very much but, by the end, one little girl in particular was ready for her momma to get home…

I was ready to get home to her and her brothers too! A HUGE thank you to Susan, GJ and Daddo for holding down the fort!!

Have a great weekend!
