For a few months now, we have had a perpetual hole that the boys dug out near their sandbox by the back patio. Because of the dirt it constantly causes to cover the patio, we fill the hole in, the boys dig it out. Over and over and over again. Well, recently they realized that they could fill the hole with water from the hose and make mud, glorious mud! The first time this happened, the boys were playing outside (hole present, no mud.), I went into the house for literally three minutes to return a phone call to my sister in law, talked to her for point two seconds and came back to two grinning boys covered in mud. I am telling you, these boys move at lightening speed! It's their super power or something...
Since then, the mud hole dries out, or we fill it in, or better yet, finally remove the hose that was making all of this mud in the first place, etc. And what do those oh so clever boys do?? Why they dig out the hole and fill it with water from the dog's water bowl of course! You can't knock them for lack of creativity.
Do you see now why we fill in the hole?? That splattered mud pie is on the patio, directly in line for little feet to walk through it before heading into the house.
And since getting mud on the patio wasn't enough, they decided to smear it around and finger paint on the sliding glass door while they were at it?? ...Never a dull moment! :)
