Poop Soup

Thankfully, no pictures were taken of the main course the children created last night, but we all had such a good laugh about this, I didn’t want the memory to be lost to time.

We headed to Kelly and Paula’s for dinner after church, and we sat outside since it was so beautiful. The children love their big backyard, the wooden play fort and swing, the spigot of water, and last night they discovered a wheelie cart filled with water.

If you’ve ever left water, mixed with some random dirt and leaves, sitting outside for any length of time, you know what sort of a smell it can create. The children decided to embrace these delicious beginnings and they spent their time whipping up some poop soup.

Recipe:

1 gallon water
4 beach buckets of dirt
27 handfuls of mulch
16 cups of hand-pulled grass
53 bursts of laughter
10 muddy feet
4 mosquito bites

Mix all together. Randomly scoop out a bucket of poop soup. Offer to the adults seated nearby so that the children can enjoy the adults’ looks of feigned disgust.

It was another perfect night with good friends. Being outdoors, enjoying great company, along with the peals of laughter from our kids…priceless.
