Fun in the Mud with Hudson

For the past few weeks it has been very rainy in South Carolina. The kiddos have been very restless because their favorite place to be is outside. I finally decided to take them out even though the ground was very soggy. At first they both just played happily in the driveway and on the deck. Then Hudson realized there was a mud puddle near their swing set at the back of the yard. He ran for it and I quickly caught him just before his feet touched the puddle. I told him to stay out of the puddle and play on the deck or driveway. He seemed to listen well for awhile until I was helping Emmy find rocks. He saw it as a great opportunity the sprint as fast as he could toward the mud puddle--the kid is fast! This time he was able to splash through it. When he reached the end, he would run back through it. I did the same as I had done before and brought him to the other side of the yard. He played for awhile and headed straight for the mud puddle, this time splashing and thoroughly soaking his outfit. I thought, oh well the damage has been done I might as well let him have fun. He had a blast splashing back and forth through the puddle as fast as he could. He is truly a boy in every aspect. Emmy decided to watch him and not partake in this adventure. Thank goodness!!!!
