Mud.

It's good for you.

April showers are coming.

First grade: Rescued by a neighbor because I got stuck in the mud in a construction site. Lost my shoes.
Second grade: Woods and creek behind our townhouse = fun laundry days for Mom.
Third grade: Mud-fight with all the neighborhood kids.
Fourth grade: Getting my younger brother to drink a "chocolate milk" and playing in the new school's construction site; did you know you can sled on mud?
Fifth grade: Soccer. Rain. Mud.


Earthworms, frogs, stained clothes, footprints through the house: Spring is here.
