WOW! That looks like a mess… but I suppose a fun mess?
“Mud! Yeah!” Voicing the thougt of every kid in the world when confronted with mud, including my one year old who can’t wait to get her new HelloKitty boots dirty.
Those rain boots are awesome!! Where did you get them?
Looks like they had a lot of fun!

Target, baby. They were from last year, but I *think* they have similar ones now!
Bud is sitting in my lap and said, “yucky, mud… face.” Awww, I thought it was cute.
.-= Jennifer´s last blog ..Baby Girl loves Chuck =-.
I had to shudder at the first pic ~ but what a cutie! He sure cleans up nice!
How cute! And who doesn’t love mud? I’ll admit it- with rain boots on, I happy go through the mud.
What a gorgeous set of muddy pictures! Those almost make me want to send my kids out to play in the mud. Wait! It’s sunny today. Darn. ;)
.-= Lolli´s last blog ..Seeds of Inspiration =-.
We did some puddle play yesterday, too. Would have been more fun if I had boots, too. Guess that gives me an excuse. SHOPPING!
.-= Cara´s last blog ..Table Topics Tuesday: My Dream Dinner =-.
My daughter slide through a patch of mud. She was so upset thay everyone was laughing at her that grabbing the camera was impossible. She wasn’t as happy as you son.
.-= Lanita Moss´s last blog ..It’s Not Fair! =-.
So much fun!
.-= Jen´s last blog ..“Um, I Think His Name was Alex.” =-.
reminds me of the Clorox commercial where the boys are playing in the mud. The first time my youngest saw the commercial, he said to me “Man, their moms are gonna be so mad!”
LOL!
.-= jen´s last blog ..get up =-.
You must be like me – the pictures and the fun just sqeeze by the pain of clean up. Looks like a blast!
.-= Brittany at Mommy Words´s last blog ..Bedtime is not Optional =-.
Plus, having an HOUR to work while they splashed? Priceless.
I’m thinking if you had set up the slip and slide, you would have elevated to Most Amazing Mommy in the world!! :) Looks fun!
.-= LoveFeast Table´s last blog ..Gearing Up For Avocado Pound Cake =-.
Ohhhhhh, next time!!
Great pictures.. love the boots.
.-= Vodka Logic´s last blog ..Why is it that…………. part 2 =-.
Awwww. That is an adorable mess! :) Looks like they had fun. I hope to one day not obsess over my son’s cleanliness and just let him enjoy some time in dirt or mud. My poor kid has a control freak for a mother. I love the puppy raincoat and monster (?) rain boots!
.-= Joanne @ Barely Domestic Mama´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday – Egg Hunt =-.
Wow! I bet he had a blast.
.-= Krystyn´s last blog ..Stroller Derby-Wordful Wednesday =-.
Oh my goodness!!!!! That looks like so much fun!!! My daughter LOVES to play in mud puddles. Its the mess that usually kills me – but, then I have to stop and tell myself, that she’s only young once and the day will come that she won’t want to splash in the puddle, so I better enjoy it now while I can.
.-= HaB´s last blog ..A Backyard View =-.
Aww cute, looks like fun!
I gotta know where you got the puppy rain coat…my daughter is slightly obsessed with dogs and would love one like that.
My mom got it for us from a little boutique, but I found it here: http://bebewonders.com/product_info.php/products_id/419 It even comes with boots!
Awesome, thanks a bunch!
Now those are some happy happy boys!! I’ve always said the dirtier they are the more fun you know they’ve had!!
LOL. My mom once told my brother “yuk how dirty you are.” He responded – “that’s how you know I had fun!”
.-= Gigi´s last blog ..Okay, okay! I got your message. =-.
OK, someone needs a bath. Maybe after a few more splashes.
.-= C @ Kid Things´s last blog ..Zoo =-.
Brings back memories… I had a cool mom, too! She would let us slip & slide through the mud and then strip us naked at the door. ;)
.-= Sara — The Football Wife´s last blog ..He Said “Gifted” =-.
Ooh, my son can’t RESIST a puddle. Whether it’s in the middle of a parking lot or our backyard. I just accept it now. (Of course, I loved running around in the rain as a kid too so its probably my fault)
.-= Alex´s last blog ..Going Green: Blogging & Carbon Emissions =-.
Stunning photos. He looks very proud of himself!
In my house, my kids want nothing to do with mud, but I can’t keep my husband out of it. There’s something unsavory about chasing a grown man around the house with a towel and wipes.

Those boots are fantastic! I can’t wait until T’s old enough to play in the mud, ’cause then I can too.
.-= amber´s last blog ..Banishing the Baby Belly is on Hiatus. =-.
Those are awesome pics – just love the first one!
.-= Momma Drama´s last blog ..Battle Royale =-.
Of course the best bit is when they then insist on giving you the biggest cuddle possible when they’re covered from head to toe! It’s their way of showing their love, I’m sure… ;)
.-= Marylin´s last blog ..Yes, I’m Shameless! =-.
Do they make those boots in adult sizes? Too cute!
.-= mom, interrupted´s last blog ..The Verdict On Junk Food =-.
Target has really cute rain boots for women too. :)
Great pictures! My son had those boots too and I guess he’ll have mud puddles to look forward to in his future too!
.-= Michaela´s last blog ..Wordless Wednesday – Sleeping Bliss =-.
One of my son’s favorite things to do! These pictures are awesome! BTW – I have been reading off and on – but need to start having more “on” moments!!
.-= Shari@Tales from the Sippy Cup´s last blog ..Chicken Giggles and Potato Smiles =-.
Wow you take beautiful photos! I am so jealous. I have a great camera my husband bought us but I just can’t seem to take a good photo. Awesome!
As messy as it looks, it looks like a blast!
.-= Pres. Kathy´s last blog ..I am exhausted – in a good way! =-.
love it :-D
.-= MommyNamedApril´s last blog ..Waiting for Daddy. Okay, Not Really, But I Told Them To Pretend To Wait For Daddy. =-.
Perfect! I have 3 mud puppies here too. Last year I bought rain boots for myself and they are SO FUN. Well worth the money–every time it rains we all head out for puddle stomping.
.-= Liz @ Peace, Love & Guacamole´s last blog ..The Boss =-.
Ridiculously darling.
SO much fun!
Now, I want it to rain so I can toss my kids out there.
.-= Rachel ~ Southern Fairytale´s last blog ..Spring Brunch =-.
He sure is all boy, isn’t he! Looks like fun.
.-= Allison´s last blog ..SeaPak Tilapia Review and Giveaway =-.
That’s one lesson (of many) my kids have taught me: the pure joy of mud puddles. I don’t think I ever played in one before I was a mom. Now, we make up for lost time.
.-= Stacia´s last blog ..Fixing What’s Broken =-.
I think it’s awesome!!!!! I sometimes wish my son would want to get a bit dirty but he has no interest. He’s like his Dad, hates sticky so much that he eats a plum by the sink with the water running. Oy.
.-= Live.Love.Eat´s last blog ..Hey Hey Old Bay! =-.
That is so awesome! I want to be playing with him. :)
.-= Alecia´s last blog ..Safely Make a U-Turn at Next Possible Intersection =-.
You honestly take some of the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. I love that first one!
.-= This Mama Works It!´s last blog ..I am a Guest Blogger today at Making Lemonade!!! =-.
That looks like an awesome good time! You are a rockin’ mama :)
.-= debi9kids´s last blog ..I am so, so tired…. =-.
awesome photos jill!
.-= scrappysue´s last blog ..our wonderful weekend part 3 =-.
I love, love it! You are the best mom!
You’re a good mom to let them play and get as dirty as they want. I never understand parents who freak out about that stuff (like my in-laws). Everything can be washed!
.-= liz´s last blog ..Take-A-Tour Thursday, Stop 7 =-.
Having 2 boys myself I can very much relate! I think we have about 6 pairs of rain boots and wear them even if it’s not raining :) You gotta LOVE boys!!! There isn’t a puddle they didn’t like.

Awwww Happiness!!! These are beautiful.
.-= Karen at French Skinny´s last blog ..Day 16 From Burbank: Rockin the Frazzled Mom Look =-.
Boys, Rain Boots and Mud-
they look as dirty as if they’ve gone down a Pesky Wabbit Hole with Elmer Fud.
Yet someday somegirls will think they’re hunky studs,
when they give them candy and bunches of flower buds.
You’ve heard this thousands of times, but you do take awesome pictures. I wish I could be more brave and just get my camera up there. Zoom in!
.-= subWOW´s last blog ..On the road =-.
I maintain that if my munchkin isn’t nice and dirty by the end of the day and in serious need of a bath then I’ve done something horribly wrong with my day.
.-= Zoey @ Good Goog´s last blog ..Hair is a Big Deal =-.
Love the dragon rain boots, they are adorable. I look forward to cleaning up messes like this because of the memories that will be made!!
