~ MUD ~

My Husband called this morning and asked me to go run the pump on the swale hole and me being the loving caring wife that I am I said sure NO problem! I didn't want to go, I didn't want to leave the house today...I had planned on CLEANING house all day....and you know I should have listened to that little voice and just stayed HOME!!!
As I was watching the end of the hose to make sure it stayed under water I glanced back and there is Michael sitting in the MUD!! YES you heard me right he was SITTING in the MUD!!!
Now mind you we have no water down there....and here is my SON covered in MUD!! I stayed calm, didn't YELL, but I wanted to SCREAM!! I pulled him out, should have made him wait while I got the camera and took PHOTOS but he wasn't happy either....
I pulled him out and went to the truck...I had 3 water bottles half full of water....I looked at my CLEAN truck and thought okay I have enough water to wash off his MUDDY arm but then what....



I decided to put him in the bed of the truck, STRIP him of all clothing and boots...By this time most of the mud was dry and I put him in his car seat and took him home to the BATHTUB!!
Next time I'm going to listen to that little voice and just stay HOME!!
Oh I also called FRed and told HIM it's PIZZA night as he owes ME big TIME and I am not making DINNER tonight, LOL!!! I think I deserve a little compensation for having to deal with all the MUD!!

This is such a great story.....but what I want to know is how you did that black b/g with the sticky tape look - LOVE IT! Share! Michael's orange shirt with the black looks AMAZING. You could straight away put this onto a digi Lo.

Look at his hand! How long did that have to soak?

Now just think...Hughie would never do that and sometimes I wish he would. Maybe I should send him up your way for awhile.
