What a great list. Thanks for sharing. Loved drawing letters on backs with my kids.
Blessings
Love your list ... and the pictures too. The one of the muddy rainboots is my favorite. :)
This is my first time here. It's nice to "meet" you.
There are dirty shoes on my front porch right now from boys playing in mud puddles...thank you for helping me view the mess with a grateful heart.
