International Mud Day!

Today we celebrated International Mud Day. Word spread and we ended up with friends and neighbors and cousins all over to get messy and muddy. I didn't have any real elaborate plans. Just get dirt, add water, bring children...done.

The children were given lots of different containers, big and small to explore with.


Friends making use of our mud kitchen. Our neighbor announced that he was making sparkling cake. Sounds yummy.

The first thing Bug did was pick up a handful of mud and stick it in his mouth. It didn't take long for him to decide that mud did not taste good. After that he was happy to just squish.

Mud pies.
Birdy didn't want to get muddy, but she did have fun making channels in the gravel for the water to go down. I felt this was very scientific so I didn't push the issue.


After we were done playing we enjoyed some mud pudding (chocolate pudding, crushed Oreos, and gummy worms) I can't wait to see what other folks have done for their Mud Day celebrations. If you have any fun ideas please leave a comment. I would love to start planning for next year, because this is definitely a new tradition.
