!!40 degrees today!!

I can smell spring, its just around the corner. I can also see spring all over the carpet. If there is mud my boys will find it. I am glad that we are waiting a few more years to replace our carpet. They are so much happier when they can be outside all day, and I love it as well. The best part is all the mud. Its still too cold to make them hose off anything more than their boots. BUT I know my days are numbered until they find a nice muddy spot that has been warmed by the sun. Last year I think it was Sam who was covered from head to toe with mud. He came to the back door and declared independence day for the Mud people. They had fought long and brave, and at last triumphed. It was so funny of course I had to get the video camera, which sparked a few more recruits to the Mud People battalion. What would I do without mud....we are such a great team. I must confess it runs in the family to love mud. I used to play in the mud as well, and obviously eric has been a dirt magnet from the beginning. Well it is way too quiet around here I better go find out whats going on!
