Dirty Birds
Sunday afternoon fun. This is what happens when you tell your daughter that you used to make mud pies when you were a little girl.
This all happened under Daddy's watch, of course.
It's hard to imagine that they go from this cuddly sweetness to THAT!
Yeah, but THAT can be darn cute, too, and by the looks of these pictures your kids are adorable no matter how thick the layer of mud! Sweetie mud pies!

Oh my!!! It looks like they had the BEST time getting all muddy!

Alex, whatever you do... don't lick your lips.
Looks like fun to me!

Looks like fun! When other people's kids are doing it, at least. ;^)

Ah, that looks to be a day that they'll remember fondly for many years to come. Way to let them be free!

That actually does look like fun! Did you just stand 'em on the driveway and hose 'em off before you let them back in the house???
Such cuties!

You know the old saying, "You can tell how much fun kids had at the end of a day by how dirty they are."

I am laughing laughing laughing! Isn't it amazing what happens under "daddy's watch?"

Isn't it funny that these muddy things happen on Daddy's watch, but Mommy gets to do the laundry??? So unfair! It looks like they had a lot of fun, though.
That is a great picture of Alex. I love his eyes!

Great photos! Some days I wish I could jump & play in the mud too.

Those are great photos, but I think they forgot to make the mud pies!

I loved making mud pies growing up!! What a great memory of course I'm saying that because my kids haven't tried this yet... way to go Dad! Mine are usually covered in food after he's on watch.

Yay mudmies! I being the one covered in the mud. Now I'm the one washing it off.;) Love the expression on Ava's face. So cute! :)

Quite the mess, but what a great memory you created for the children. I love my children when they get mucky dirty. They just are so happy that way. (unless it is a sharpie pen then mama gets a little upset)

Good clean fun!! Love the expression on L's face when she got A with her mud pie hands. Hee hee.
