Muddy Day
Ally was having quite the day. We were unpacking stuff. Jason and I were working our best to keep them busy so that they wouldn't undo our hard work. It was kind of nice out side - upper 20 to lower 30s. We bundled the kids up and let them ride their bikes outside while Jason was hanging cupboards in the garage for his manly tools.
We are the last house on the street so the sidewalk ends into a muddy lot next to us. We got quite a bit of rain on Friday along with the water that Jason had put on the sod. Ally hasn't mastered stopping on her bike and fell off the end of the sidewalk. 
Not the terrible part though. She sat in it trying to get out and sunk her tennis shoes in the mud. Scarred for the morning, she lost interest in the great outdoors and came into bother mommy who was trying to unpack the plethera of toys that we hadn't seen in 5 months!
The funny part came 5 hours later when she wore her farm boots out to go fishing in the yard. She marched around the house - I hope that she wasn't trying to knock down the walls! You can see the little footprints in the mud. Well yes again she fell down in the mud in the same spot as before. Trying to pull her boots out she sat down in the mud and dirtied another pair of pants - EEKS!
Oh well - this episod sent her to the couch to watch some tv - without her pants!

Isn't it funny how we say it was a pretty nice day out - 20's and 30's. I am with you girl. I love the story of Ally. Oh I miss her spirit. Lilz
i was thinking quite the opposite. i don't thing there is anything even slightly nice about 20's & 30's. it was in the high 40's low 50's last week & i told trip it was tooooooo cold to go outside! man, i miss the south!
