Muddy puddles – Peppa Pig Style. This week has been a most welcome reprieve from the heat we’ve had lately. It’s been raining on and off for the last few days. But along with the reprieve comes the unfortunate reality that a mom can only do so much to keep her kids entertained indoors… Boredom will hit!!!
So, today I had one of those all-too-rare light-bulb moments. Why not just embrace it all? Rain, mud, and fun… Yup, it took me a while to think of this (brilliant, right?)… Anyway, here is a glimpse of our day.
Oh, by the way… Yes, they are in their pj’s. Why get dressed when you’re going to get dirty anyway… :)
Puddle searching.
Walking with my baby.
Mission accomplished, puddle found.
So much love for these girls.
My handsome little men. LOVE!
Nothing like some Muddy Puddles – Peppa Pig Style
Not JUST a princess, but a fun-loving little girl.
Pure joy!
This kid just cracks me up!
So you see. A little (OK, a lot of) mud never hurt anyone. After a nice warm bath, and some clean fresh pj’s, all thoughts of boredom were but a distant memory, and some quiet followed… while mommy washed those filthy clothes. All worth it in the end!!
Now that IS embracing the mud! Good on you! #KCACOLS
We had a ball Rebecca, thank you!
Lovely pictures and what fab memories they’ll have of that! #KCACOLS
Exactly, life is way to short .. Thanks for reading! x
Now that looks fun! That’s what childhood is all about :D #ukbloggerclub
Exactly! :)
LOVE THIS! Fab idea :) #BloggerclubUK
Thank you, we had a great time!
Lovely! I’m forever telling my 5yo to “stop splashing in the puddles!” Next time we’ll embrace the mess as well.
Your photos are great – the timing is perfect for catching those big splashes! Thanks for sharing your messy fun boredom buster!

It took me a while to embrace it all :), but yes, we had a wonderful time! It was good to get “down & dirty” ..xx
Now that is a proper muddy puddle! Such fun! And I love that you kept them in their pjs for it, such good thinking! x #KCACOLS
Oh yes! Much better than letting them wear their ‘good” clothes! :)
Perfect! Magical memories created too.
#KCACOLS
That’s the best part :)

I think we could give her a “run for her money” :)
You are so brave. That looks amazing, I don’t think I could handle the washing! #bloggerclubuk
I will admit, it was rather messy.. We had to wash out those Gumboots! :)
I love it, we spend so much time telling children not to do things that letting go like that is a pure tonic for everyone. Looks like they had so much fun and will probably be a highlight of their summer holidays. Great photos #KCACOLS
Sometimes we just have to jump in and enjoy! It was a great stress reliever for mom too! xx :)
Yay for puddles! Our town has a mud day once a year–they flood a big field and families are invited to come and roll in the mud. It’s a hit!
#StayClassyMama
That sounds like the BEST fun ever! My kids would definitely love it!!! xx
We love doing this too! Nothing better then grabbing the wellies and jumping in puddles!! #KCACOLS
Such a great Boredom Buster!! xx
Fantastic! I absolutely love it! That is one seriously awesome puddl! Good job Mama #KCACOLS

Oh my days these are just the BEST photos! I am not sure I would be as brave but the girls would love it!! Thanks for sharing in #HappyDaysLinky xx
haha! I think the kids love it way more than we do!!! :)
Wow! That is one heck of a muddy puddle! You’re braver than me, that’s for sure! x #BloggerClubUK
It was rather muddy, I won’t lie! xx
Absolutely brilliant photos! Good on you for embracing the rain hehe. Thanks for linking up to #HappyDaysLinky x
Thank you! x
It’s amazing how much fun kids have jumping in puddles.
Even Little Miss OMG at 18 months makes a beeline for puddles when she sees one.
Some fantastic photos.
#KCACOLS
It’s as if there is a secret pull!! It sure was fun!! x
Haha oh I love it! What a fun Mum you are! #stayclassymama
ha ha ha, thats adorable. We’re kindred spirits you and I, my son is only 13 months but I regulary let him explore outside, if he finds a puddle I let him crawl and sit in it. I can’t wait till he is walking and in wellies so he can jump in puddles. For now he can just crawl and climb in buckets of water, he did that twice yesterday, clean clothes on each time! Thanks for linking up to #abrandnewday
oh my gosh my kids would LOVE that! so much messy fun
