Sludge

When the well drillers finished the job and left, there was one thing they didn't take with them -- the sludge. We now have a yard full of this yucky, muddy, clay-like substance that I call sludge. After two days of non-stop rain, the sludge is especially inviting to my children. They started by playing sludge ball, until someone got hurt, which is usually the case. Bryson then decided to form a sculpture from sludge. Needless to say, tonight I have extra laundry and everyone needed a bath. Good thing we have the water for both!

LOL...I echo Dottie's comment!

I'm just laughing and shaking my head. I know what it's like...except without a yard full of sludge. But the mess....yikes.

Boys love their mud!!! We have a rule in our house: The dirtier you get the more fun you have. I told it to Leah when she was little & then to Josh. Why do I wonder know why my children love to get dirty!!??
