Why We Love (?) Break-Up in Alaska

The picture definitely does not do justice to Spunky's experience today. This was taken about 2 minutes after arriving home from church. He gleefully ran out to the swingset. Next thing we knew, or heard, actually, was high-pitched screaming. I dutifully rescued my youngest from the pit of despair (mud). He was soaked from the first of three major splash-downs today. The third of which had us carrying him a 1/2 mile home nearly naked from the waist down! And the reason we LOVE break-up in Alaska??...it promises, in a deranged sort of way, warmth and green will be here in a flash.

It's coming . . . wait for it, wait for it . . .

We are getting yellow patches in the snow in our front yard. We've had a horribly muddy street for weeks, just the past week it's started to dry up.

Forgot to mention--I saw flowers poking up thru the dead grass on Sunday!!!! :D

MUD! my favorite pictures of my kids are the ones where they are covered in mud, big smiles on their faces. Who can resist mud?
