When The Kids Find Spring Mud

Filed Under: Life in North Dakota Tagged With: North Dakota, prairie, prairie life, rural life 8 Comments

It’s been a long, long winter. The kids are ready for Spring whether it is has arrived on the prairie or not. 
Yesterday they dug out their new water boots and were determined to go out to play. 
I suggested we stay on our tiny bit of cement around the house.
But Anika ventured quickly into the new found Spring prairie mud.
Elissa quickly jumped off her bike to follow into the mud.
They stomped and splashed with glee, releasing their pent up energy from being indoors.
Uncle Joe was there to recover Anika went she truly found Spring mud.
It wasn’t as fun as it looked. But after a thorough clean up inside and a clean and dry jacket, we ventured back outside for round two. 
The season of Spring mud is upon us on the prairie which only means one thing: We are getting closer to the real thing. And that is Spring with out mud!
What’s your favorite sign of Spring?

    They are so sweet and cute, what’s a little mud. My favorite sign of spring is when there is no mud.

    You need to get the girls waterproof kids’ bibs from Uddertech. They are amazing. Tough, waterproof and best part you can just hose off the kids. This is what I do with the boys 😉
    After this weeks weather, I want the mud back…. sick of snow.

Welcome to the Prairie…

I am a mom of three kids and a wife to Nathan. Together we live on the North Dakota prairie, 97 miles from a Starbuck's. I share about family, food, farming and the prairie that I love. I used to commute 98 miles one-way to work but it required too much coffee. So now I am home, consulting, speaking, writing and primarily, juggling family life.
