Human Nature vs. Laundry

Sometimes, against my better judgement, I do something completely out of character for me; I become a "Fun Mommy".  I know, right?!?  The Mommy whose favorite threat is, "Don't make me beat you in public" has been known to have moments of fun-ness.  When people aren't watching... and no one can prove it was me....  In this instance, it was in the name of business.  I needed models so that I could practice my craft and my children pretty much run and hide when I break out the Canon. 

We made a compromise....

If they wore rain boots, they could check out the puddles.

And for awhile that was fine.  They explored.  They CAREFULLY checked

out what was  left over from the storm.  They found sticks, and rocks,

and mud, but mostly we all found that you

just can't hold out against your nature. 

Yeah, human nature... for an almost four year-old boy that means:

Have puddle, must jump!

And then for some it means staying away from almost four year-old boys

who are jumping in mud puddles!

And this is the closest she got to the mud puddle that day. 

I did learn that being the "Fun Mommy" means that you have

 a lot more laundry to do.

I'm not so sure it's worth it....
