Oh, I'm so so afraid to even ask what that is, even though I don't think I have to ask, because, gah, flashbacks!

Good luck... :)

O.K. just to be fair... it's not quite that bad – He ran out in the yard and made some mud puddles, but Eww... we've had nights like that too.

Hey, most spas charge extra for the mud.

Skunkfeathers said...

Tell me that's not s'mores.... ;)

Vodka Mom said...

Stomper Girl said...

Thank goodness it was just mud!

Frances said...

Fun...Sometimes I wonder if kids have some kind of primal aversion to cleanliness. I too would also be grateful that it was just mud.

CaraBee said...

Thank goodness it was just mud. I thought he was sick or someone else got sick. Nasty.

Cheryl Lage said...

Oh whew!!!! Not that the mud isn't unsavory enough, but yeeeegads, the alternative was NOT a pleasing thought! ;)

Maternal Mirth said...

Uh-oh ... I am sceeerrred to ask ...

Vixen said...

There is dirt in the belly button!!!!

Hee, hee, ha, ha.

Vodka Mom said...

hey- just wondering if they're clean yet....

Damselfly said...

Gah! I see you have a dirt magnet like my son.

Ellie said...

Garden hoses were invented for JUST this reason...

Hmmm....I had to look at the comments to see if the mystery mess was revealed.....boy did I have a lot of guesses. Actually, mud puddles did NOT cross my mind. Better than what I came up with though. Mud puddles are cleaner than what I imagined is what I am trying to say. Nothing a good bath can't fix.

Nothing that a single diaper wipe can't take care of ... regardless of the medium!!

I fed our (then) two-year-old triplets a rich dessert once and they made a mess just like the one shown in this post, but with something a lot less pleasing than mud.

I say "once" because it was the last time I ever did it!

ChefDruck said...

Oh gosh - I thought it was poo then I saw that it was mud. Phew!

Colleen said...

Ooh no...I'm STILL laughing! What is that? Berries? TELL! TELL!

Drama Mama said...

I'm sorry, but it is really a cute pic!

Andrea with the Flipflops said...

LOL... I hope he used the house hose and not his own personal portable hose!

Angela said...

Too funny! I have seen this happen when my children get their Daddy to give them chocolate pudding after a bath and supper... gracious!

Deb on the Rocks said...

Oh, mama! It never ends!

Immoral Matriarch said...

OMG. OMG OMG OMG. I thought it was poop and then saw your comment and was like ok, thank God. LOL.

womaninawindow said...

um, is that smores all over? um, poo?

For a minute there I was wondering if the second was you in your underdogs. I was thinking, Brave, brave woman...very brave and crazy woman.

Zip n Tizzy said...

O.K. I obviously struck a chord here, but not the one I was going for.
Yes it's a drag to have to wash mud off their feet when you want to pop them into bed, but Oh YES, clearly we have all been there, with the poop running down their leg, and them running through the house...
Mmm..that's why I'm looking forward to being done with diapers.
