Our girls got disgustingly filthy today. I mean mud in the eyelashes and hosing off in the garden filthy. It started with splashing in the puddles in Nanny's lane and very quickly descended into sitting in the mud, making pies and dams and seeing who could get the most gloriously revolting. Just puddle splashing was in itself was a strong concession for me since I have an aversion to my children getting dirty. I know thats it's silly and bordering on cruel and that everything (particulary skin!) is washable, but I can't help it. My girls know this and I think they wondered when they would next get the chance and so decided to make the most of the opportunity. Luckily, Nanny Pat is the absolute best stain remover in the world and within an hour their clothes were sparkling again. Not so easy the children; they had to sit in a bucket in the garage to get the first round of muck off and then again in the laundry bucket and thirdly up the stairs in the bath for a final suddsing. The only lingering evidence was a thick black ring round the bath and two very satisfied children....
