Today after school the girls decided they all should take Walker for a walk around the farm. Great idea. I was enjoying some quiet time since Peanut and K were napping and the older 3 were outside entertaining themselves. Until....Minime was pounding on the door yelling for me. Apparently, in an emergency, she had forgotten how to open the door and come in. Anyways, I ran to see what was wrong and she told me I had to come quick because Bman got stuck in the mud and LiviJ went to pull him out and now they both fell on their butts and are stuck in the mud. The first thing that came to my mind was, "What a perfect photo opportunity!" So, I grabbed my camera and ran. By the time I got there they had made it back into standing position, but both were still screaming hysterically.
I first snapped a photo and then told them to, "Calm down! You are NOT going to die!" That didn't seem to help. LiviJ calmed down enough to grab my hand as I helped her pludge through the mud to dryer ground. But Bman was stuck! I really thought I was going to be the next one in as I pulled. Finally, he became air born, leaving his boot still embeded in the mud. I told LiviJ to hold him up while I tried to free the boot. That thing was suctioned in there good!
Once again snapping a picture, LiviJ says, "Stop taking pictures!" I said, "Oh, but honey, some day you are going to think this is funny." She said, "I will NEVER think this is funny!" On our somber walk back to the house Bman says through his tears, "Mom, I'm never going to laugh about this." But it's amazing how a bath, clean clothes, and a few hours changes things. A few minutes ago we were showing dad the pictures and both kids were laughing :)
