Day 5: mud tastes good mommy!

Amelia gets to wear all of Aleigh's hand me downs. Some were stained and thrown away but most were still in good condition. Today I took some time to scrub all of Aleigh's outgrown shoes and get them clean for Amelia to wear.

I filled up a big bucket of water and put a few things in there for the girls to play with while I use the water to do some scrubbing on the shoes.

Aleigh had a blast which was nice for a change, the last few months she has been fearful of any water and this time she was splashing water all over herself and me, we were drenched.

When I was done with the water I dumped it in the yard because it needed some water anyways.

Aleigh then walks over and splashes in the mud puddle in her brand new white sandals. Oh well I thought she normally runs from the dirt so I will let her play in it as long as she wants. 20 seconds later she comes running to me crying and trying to take her shoe off. She didn't like having dirty feet so I grab the hose and spray them clean. She then was as happy as can be with clean feet.

As I went to put the shoes inside the house I turned around and there Amelia was sitting in the mud, digging her fingers in it.

This is new for me. Aleigh never liked getting dirty. I thought it was funny so I grabbed my phone to take a picture. That is when Amelia decided to try and eat the mud then rubbed it all across her face.

We headed straight for the bath. Aleigh does not like the dirt and was freaking out, she didn't want me to touch her until I wiped the mud off my arms.

These girls keep me busy but my oh my are they fun.
