    My niece and nephew love the outdoors…and they can’t stay away from mud! I was laughing throughout this post because I couldn’t help but picture my niece doing all these things (that little dare devil)!

    Ok this is on my list for tomorrow and just in time. I’ve got a terrible cold that I got from my little wiggle worm and my husband is out for business for the next 5 days. Yikes! Glad you had some great activities for me that don’t involve me running! I’m just so blown away by your blog! I do not know how you find the time! I’m playing with blogging now and I frequently don’t find the time and it just languishes untouched for weeks as I battle with insurance companies and talk to doctors, OT, pre-school and psychologists. These activities are a great way to feel like a normal family.
