A Cautionary Picture Story

Author: Heather of the EO
Friday~July 10, 2009


He asked (with his eyes) if he could come outside...



His brother was out, and Daddy was grilling, so we said...SURE, join the fam...




Then right before dinner, we looked out our door to discover this...




We laughed, we grabbed the video camera, we took photos (obviously)...
...and then of course, he wanted back in...




At least now we know what he'll look like with hair.


Beware the unattended children with hose and soil.


I hope your weekend is full of sun, laughter, and very little mud.

Little boys can be such dirtballs! Mine seem to find every mud puddle and muck hole on our property!

What's with the kids who want out and then they want it? Whilst wet? And muddy? (Those eyes! I'll bet you let him in, anyway, huh?)

And could it be that we posted pictures of boys + mud just a day apart?? I think it is so.

Plus we each have discussed our compulsion to possibly eat cute little shoes recently... :)

When we were growing up, my mom NEVER let us play in the mud or get dirty. So when I had my daughter I decided that I was going to REALLY go crazy and let her play in the dirt all she wanted. (I know....whoa, look out).

Yep, it's messy. But their little smiles, and just seeing them be kids, is so worth it.

He is adorable. And your comment about seeing what he'll look like with hair cracked me up.

Who could say "no" to those eyes! Have a great weekend, too. I can't believe it's Friday evening already.

I love it! I have always said that there is little more dangerous than a quiet, happy toddler in a place where you can't see him/her. At least this is cute. ;)

I was hoping for a worm or two inching around on top of that cute head.

oh this cracks me up! And reminds me of a time when my daughter was about 3. I had friends picking her up for church (her brother was sick) and she asked to go in the back yard for the few minutes of waiting. When they got there, I went out to find her and found her sitting in the freshly tilled dirt for our garden...covered head to toe in dirt....but smiling like crazy!!!!

Is it bad that I started laughing my head off. Especially at the hair line.

You're awesome!

Blessings!

LOL. Seems like this was one of those occasions where you just have to laugh! Oh that we have more of these! So glad you captured it on film.

Is mud hard to get out in the laundry? Inquiring minds want to know...

CC Says :
July 13, 2009 7:00 PM

He hee! Thanks for the cautions. If my kids weren't scared of dirt I'd post this to my door!

That's great! You're so right...beware the children with hose and soil. And they are like magnets, unfortunately.
