I am powerless.

When the kids see a puddle of water, or better yet mud, I might as well just surrender. Splashing in the stuff is one of my kids’ most favorite things in the world. How could I deprive them of that? It would be a waste of energy to try anyway. I’m outnumbered.

Even when we were at an awesome park, they found the only puddle remaining from some rain, and it was the main attraction.

And getting soaking wet never stops them from continuing to play, even with mud-filled shoes. I wish I could as free-spirited as my little ones.

(Don’t worry, it was a quick cry, and he was back to playing happily.)

Okay, so sometimes I get into the fun.

Since they love this activity to much, sometimes we go to parks we know will have a lot of puddles after a rainstorm just to splash around. It’s only a few wet clothes and shoes, but they sure sleep well that night. So worth it.
