Obviously  I put the blanket out so that John could avoid it at all costs and head to the deck and sticks!
Boys were making cow food and horse food.  They wanted to let me in their barn (the garage).  I declined.  Mum's can be annoying at times.
We have mud for about 2 weeks of the year, and I try and embrace it.  The boys were in shorts too which was adorable as they kept giggling over their knees showing.
