Medium: Wet Dirt

The other night was such a lovely night. Doug watched the girls, king superhero Aragorn-like manly man who can wear tights that he is, and I took a bath with a Golden Slumbers ballistic, had a nice glass of port, and turned off the lights (it was still somewhat light outside) and listened to the rain. I'm ok with rain if it happens at night. And, really, it's the other way around. Aragorn wishes he were more Doug-like.

'Course it rained during the day, too, and that I didn't like so much. I mean the ground had just barely dried.

Doug has taken the car in so the a/c will be fixed. We're going to somewhere near Albany, NY for a couple of days, so that will be nice. Unfortunately, the car also has all of our sunblock and swimgear in it. Nothing like being stuck at home (we can't use the little Honda) with no sunblock! Argh!

Ok, I have a bottle I can scrap the lotion out of. This is why one can not have too much sunblock. I've blocked off the driveway and we're going to try to paint with mud. I'll bring the camera and we'll see how this goes. We don't normally play out front b/c of said driveway (it's sort of steep, but ok if you stay at the top, and it's hard to see from the street b/c it's behind a hill), so we'll see how blocking it off goes (people like to turn around in our driveway...we don't get a LOT of traffic but we get more than you would think for being on a dead-end street). It's being blocked off with the Honda, by the way.

Ooh! I must go in search of this Golden Slumbers of which you speak. Have not tried it. Did get mom one of the new Black Pearl bombs (yes, think Johnny Depp).

And Aragorn should be so lucky...

I must see these mud pics...

Wow. I think you may be the most amazing mother in history. Mud-painting has got to be worthy of an award, at least. Very cool.

Mud paintings! Brilliant!

Black Pearl is very nice and is filled with lots of silver glitter! At least mine was...I liked it :)

Mud painting was nice and all but sort of ho hum. I think we need more mud. Like a kiddie pool filled of it or something. Sophia had fun painting (you couldn't really see it...I guess our driveway is too dark) anyway and Fiona mostly liked putting more dirt in, more water in, stirring, add and repeat.

Ho hum, she says! I can hear my kids begging you to adopt them!
