Feeling relatively uninspired [okay and maybe procrastinating on my assigned reading for school tomorrow],I decided to go through some old pictures for a quick post - just for the fun of it...and came across this great shot taken years and years ago [you know - back in the day when I wasn't quite so unsure about being photographed in a swimsuit top and shorts ]...
If I remember correctly, [feel free to correct me Syd] Logan and Reese were happily playing with the hose in the backyard, and [I think] made the mud pit kind of unintentionally...Mom gave the okay to go ahead and get dirty - and then Syd was persuaded to join in the fun. Aundrea and I were sitting in the backyard just watching the mud slinging action - I remember looking at her and asking 'Do you think it would be okay for me to go and play with them?' [c'mon - how often do you as an adult get the chance to play in the mud? Admit it - you're jealous...]. She just laughed and said something to the effect of 'I think they would be delighted'...

The stripes I believe were Reeses idea - to make me look like the cat in the hat. It's a striking resemblance, don't you think?

Good times...even better memories...
A little piece of advice for the day...if you ever get the chance to play in the mud or the rain - GO FOR IT! You will never regret the memories...

nice stripes
((sigh)) I remember that back yard. And those little kids. And our friend.
looks like fun to me! and I agree...go for it! life is [as we know all too well] too short to not do the silly, spontaneous things - that make happy memories for later!
where is the small but mighty shirt when you need one?
i'm digging the stripes as well.
Thinking of you today...hope all goes well with your surgery. Praying.
How was the surgery? Hope it went well..hope you didn't feel a thing=) Miss you!
