As in the words of e.e. cummings today was "mudluscious" and "puddle -wonderful". The kids were having a blast digging for worms, filling up buckets with mud, and making mud soup with the yummy ingredients of leaves, pine cones, and twigs. I was lamenting all day that I had forgotten my camera. It was a beautiful sight to see. The kids were all smiles in the schoolyard today working cooperatively on their muddy projects, and there is a good reason for that.

Here are links to two articles that will make you want to get your child out playing in the mud and puddles!
