Mud and Flowers

I was very happy to pick up a vintage washtub this weekend at the Valley Junction Antique Jamboree; yesterday I got some flowers planted in it.  Maybe I should have waited though, because having a washtub available might have come in handy after Jacob accidentally took a dive into the huge mud puddle in our yard, courtesy of yesterday's torrential downpour. 

How cute is he covered in mud?  Pretty darn cute if I do say so myself.  He handled the situation well:  "Mommy, please help me.  Get me out of this mud puddle."  Apparently he enjoys splashing in puddles but not diving into them; but his little bicycle got stuck and he went face-first over the handlebars.  I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.
