Mud-day, Mud-day, So Good to Me

Did YOUR school have a Mud Day!?!

N is so lucky. After a year of trying to keep the dirt off them, on his last day of school N's preschool teachers gave up all pretense and opened the flood gates. Or rather the mud gates... Mud, mud and more mud - all for the wallowing.

L, by virtue of having a "Sea Turtle" Room Mom for a mother, got to sneak in an join in the muck and mire. The normally non-dirt-averse kids seemed a little taken-aback at first and reluctantly stuck a toe in here or there. Eventually L took her role as bad-influence seriously and plunged into the pool head first. A drove of piglets followed frantically and soon the pools were bubbling, writhing pits of plastered preschoolers.
