This week we had some friends over to celebrate a birthday. With only an hour until they arrived, I told the girls to go and play, gave Ella a cookie and went to work. I was trying to keep an eye on the girls, but somehow I missed the small mud puddle right outside our front door. I heard Livi say, "Addie, this time let's squish as far as we can." When I got to them, it was too late. They were a mess and they had painted the entry way with mud. I just had to laugh. Life seems to always go this way. With no outside hose to spray them off, clean up was a disaster.
