How is it that the boys are always able to find the first spring mud puddles, no matter how well hidden on the property? This year we’ve enjoyed such a beautiful winter, with the ability to regularly send the boys outside in the afternoons. I’m finding myself in a typical Alaskan mom’s predicament this month, wanting to send the kids outside, but not sure how to dress them and most certainly not wanting to be washing dirty play clothes (or snowsuits) constantly. Do you have any ideas?

Send them over to the neighbors where the drive is dry!:)

I can relate! Years ago I had a revelation on the mud/laundry issue and I used it for years: I sent my kids out to play with a pair of Carhartt overalls over their everyday clothes. Then when they came in to the garage I had them take them off and hang them up on their hooks. Later on when they wanted to go back out, they’d just slip those overalls on again and they were ready to go!

Great idea, Sarah. I’ll have to try that.
