A Cautionary Picture Story

July 10, 2009

Friday~July 10, 2009

He asked (with his eyes) if he could come outside…

His brother was out, and Daddy was grilling, so we said…SURE, join the fam

Then right before dinner, we looked out our door to discover this…

We laughed, we grabbed the video camera, we took photos (obviously)…
…and then of course, he wanted back in…

At least now we know what he’ll look like with hair.

Beware the unattended children with hose and soil.

I hope your weekend is full of sun, laughter, and very little mud.

My boys did the exact same thing..boys and dirt!

Chele July 10, 2009 at 11:00 am

Boys will be boys! LOL. Too cute. Thanks for sharing!

Kristina P. July 10, 2009 at 11:32 am

This made me smile this morning. I love your boys.

Annette Lyon July 10, 2009 at 11:33 am

But you couldn't say no to that face!

Kate Coveny Hood July 10, 2009 at 12:16 pm

A very familiar scene…

Jillene July 10, 2009 at 12:16 pm

Boys + hose + dirt = mess every time!!

Your boys are so ADORABLE!!

Jenn @ A Country Girl's Ramblings July 10, 2009 at 12:18 pm

Little boys can be such dirtballs! Mine seem to find every mud puddle and muck hole on our property!

Tooj July 10, 2009 at 12:22 pm

Take your caution and throw it out the window!! :) He did exactly as he was supposed to do. And I love it. Happy Friday.

Angie July 10, 2009 at 12:32 pm

I love it! Absolutely love it! I know God was smiling. :)

Kimberly July 10, 2009 at 12:54 pm

Some moments just need to be captured!

L.T. Elliot July 10, 2009 at 1:52 pm

I love your picture-book posts!!!!!

Heidi Ashworth July 10, 2009 at 2:16 pm

What's with the kids who want out and then they want it? Whilst wet? And muddy? (Those eyes! I'll bet you let him in, anyway, huh?)

Wendi @ Every Day Miracles July 10, 2009 at 2:22 pm

And could it be that we posted pictures of boys + mud just a day apart?? I think it is so.

Plus we each have discussed our compulsion to possibly eat cute little shoes recently… :)

When we were growing up, my mom NEVER let us play in the mud or get dirty. So when I had my daughter I decided that I was going to REALLY go crazy and let her play in the dirt all she wanted. (I know….whoa, look out).

Yep, it's messy. But their little smiles, and just seeing them be kids, is so worth it.

He is adorable. And your comment about seeing what he'll look like with hair cracked me up.

Kazzy July 10, 2009 at 3:28 pm

LOL I always have plenty of mud around!

Muthering Heights and Other Senseless Sensibility July 10, 2009 at 3:33 pm

LOL, that is soooooo funny!

Roban July 10, 2009 at 6:11 pm

Who could say "no" to those eyes! Have a great weekend, too. I can't believe it's Friday evening already.

I, too, am cracking up over "…what he'll look like with hair.."

Get Real Girl July 10, 2009 at 6:45 pm

Hilarious photo. I love it.

Jen July 10, 2009 at 6:45 pm

people pay good money for a mud bath….
and look he got one for free.

too cute.

Debbie July 10, 2009 at 7:17 pm

Now you know that is just good, clean fun!

MommyTime July 10, 2009 at 8:02 pm

I love it! I have always said that there is little more dangerous than a quiet, happy toddler in a place where you can't see him/her. At least this is cute. ;)

Midwest Mommy July 10, 2009 at 10:40 pm

lol, that made me giggle but I was wondering what the heck it was. Thank you for telling us, lol

Elizabeth July 10, 2009 at 11:52 pm

Classic! I love pictures of little boys and dirt. They never outgrow it.

jen@odbt July 11, 2009 at 8:08 am

Boys and dirt go together like pb & j. I bet he had a lot of fun!

a Tonggu Momma July 11, 2009 at 11:40 am

I was hoping for a worm or two inching around on top of that cute head.

sara July 11, 2009 at 1:20 pm

oh this cracks me up! And reminds me of a time when my daughter was about 3. I had friends picking her up for church (her brother was sick) and she asked to go in the back yard for the few minutes of waiting. When they got there, I went out to find her and found her sitting in the freshly tilled dirt for our garden…covered head to toe in dirt….but smiling like crazy!!!!

Eowyn July 11, 2009 at 1:50 pm

Is it bad that I started laughing my head off. Especially at the hair line.

You're awesome!

D July 11, 2009 at 2:33 pm

That's hilarious. I thought it was the au jus.

Melanie July 11, 2009 at 5:09 pm

It sounds (and looks) so funny when it happens to OTHER people's kids…

happygeek July 11, 2009 at 11:22 pm

well, his shirt did say to dig it! So he really really did.
Love his 'do.

Maggie May July 13, 2009 at 1:07 am

Top Gun! Sorry, I recognize your comment blurb, we quote Top Gun around here a lot :)

Octamom July 13, 2009 at 8:20 am

Nice! I'm sure it has some kind of benefit to the scalp and hair….

Blessings!

LisAway July 13, 2009 at 8:46 am

Okay that is funny. Especially the comment about the hair. So cute.

jubilee July 13, 2009 at 12:08 pm

LOL. Seems like this was one of those occasions where you just have to laugh! Oh that we have more of these! So glad you captured it on film.

Mary @ Parenthood July 13, 2009 at 1:21 pm

Is mud hard to get out in the laundry? Inquiring minds want to know…

CC July 13, 2009 at 7:00 pm

He hee! Thanks for the cautions. If my kids weren't scared of dirt I'd post this to my door!

Kristen@nosmallthing July 13, 2009 at 8:54 pm

That's great! You're so right…beware the children with hose and soil. And they are like magnets, unfortunately.

Reluctant Housewife July 14, 2009 at 9:58 am

Mud! Did he make pies?

radioactive girl July 14, 2009 at 11:43 am

I love that you laughed and got the camera instead of getting angry. How adorable!
