Mud Pies

One afternoon Allyson wanted to play outside, she was hoping for more muddy puddles to jump in.  Steve took her outside while I stayed in with Eva.  After a while I looked out the kitchen window and saw Ally playing in the mud, with her pants down.  I thought that was strange and kept watching her.  She was running around playing, making mud pies and didn't seem to care that her pants were around her boots. 

After taking a few pictures through the kitchen window I tried to signal her to pull up her pants.  She pulled them up and then they immediately fell down and she continued playing.  

When it was time to come in I met them at the back door to help Ally get out of her muddy clothes (and keep most of the mud out of the house).  She had found more than one muddy puddle.  Her boots were full of mud and water, I could hardly pull them off her feet the suction was so strong.  Her pants (sweatpants) were completely mud soaked and probably weighed 5lbs.  Whenever she had tried to pull her pants up they fell down because they were so heavy!  

While it took me many washes to get all the mud out of her pants no permanent damage was done.  This girl loved getting dirty and making mud pies.
