Making memories- one grass stain at a time!

I realize sometimes that I spend a lot of time making sure that the house stays tidy and clean. The boys are pretty used to taking their shoes off when they come in the house, and although I love doing crafts with the boys and getting messy- the mess is planned and contained. 

But the other day this had to change. 

It was time to make some really fun memories and I am thankful for times like these. We played outside (despite the heat) and all of a sudden- out of no where- it started to pour. Instead of running inside in an effort to stay clean/dry….we stayed out. We (okay- they) played in the mud, got messy, grass stained, and (frankly) completely bit up by bugs (oops!).  

And they still talk about it.
