Summer Baths

Playing in the mud has become traditional afternoon play at our house. There is no mud in the yard, but the kids have figured out how to make dirt into mud. They fill their buckets with my gardening water then take it to their garden and mix with their whole bodies.
Then cover themselves in it.
They shovel it into their mouths.
There is no way they are going to come in the house like that.

There is only one way to take care of all that mud.
Strip off their clothes and put them in a swimming pool.
Yup- my kids are skinny dippers.
