Is your house as obsessed with Peppa Pig as we are? Peppa's favorite activity is jumping in muddy puddles, and that's what my kids got into today at Memaw and PawPaw's house. It started with Barrett getting calf-deep into a muddy hole. And we figured, heck - if they are muddy anyways, let's just let them go to town!
Britton kept her rain boots on, but Barrett abandoned his crocs because "they were dirty." I didn't bother with the logic talk about how not wearing them would render his feet even more dirty! Whenever he could run across the gravel next to the mud he'd go "Ow! Ow! Ow! Ow!" until he reached the mud again - Memaw and I couldn't stop laughing!
Up and down, up and down this poor hill. Britton even "slid" down the hill, which looked downright painful.
When it got too cold and Barrett's teeth were chattering, Memaw and I wrangled up the kids and threw them into the shower. Luckily, I know now to bring a change a clothes with me when the kids go over there! We got them cleaned up and found some cleaner/non-muddy activities for them while they warmed up. A perfect goodbye to summer!
