Mud

Maybe I am just tired, but I was laughing from the very beginning of this conversation...

(story setup--my 4 and 6 year olds are playing out back, which is all dirt.  Natalie comes inside...)

Natalie:  "Mom, we need mud.  So can we turn on the hose outside?"

She then protested after being told no by both parents and said  "But spit is just not enough water to make mud!"

(It is also interresting to notice that they are not jumping on the new trampoline out back, but are using it as shade to play under.  It is almost 100 degrees out there today.)
