Makin' Mud Pies

There was one birthday gift I didn't include in the pictures because we didn't have it yet.  It is by far the messiest thing we now own and the boys LOVE it.  The Little Tykes Makin' Mud Pie Kitchen came from John's Uncle Mike and Aunt Andrina, although I'm told the real person to thank for picking out the present is Eva.  I put the kitchen together one afternoon and John couldn't wait to take it outside.  Hans was confused as to why we would take the kitchen outside, but soon learned that was were the real fun began.

Do not let the advertisement fool you.  Your children will not look like this during or after playing with the kitchen...

They will, however, look like this...

John was collecting dirt to make his mud pie.

They did play very well together.

This is what is currently sitting on my back porch.  This is also a perfect example of why inside toys stay inside and outside toys stay outside.

Thank you, Mike, Andrina, Eva and Machara!  The boys are having a blast.
