Last week for Thursday 13, I did 13 Messy Foods, and someone teased that my kids must never be clean. So this week I thought I would show how very true that can be… and there’s not a single food related mess in the lot.

I’ve long held the theory that if my kids aren’t getting really dirty regularly, then they aren’t being allowed to explore enough. You may also note that there are more messy pictures of my daughter than my son. A part of it is that she’s older, but it’s also that she is very much so the ringleader. My son has a more laid back temperment, and it shows when it comes to getting good and dirty.
