In the photo, two-year-old Evelyn and five-year-old Gideon smiled widely and held hands for the snap.

Both of the young kids wore a casual gray tracksuit for their playtime, and Gideon kept him glasses and watch on for the fun.

Behind them, Joy-Anna and her 29-year-old husband Austin Forsyth’s large backyard could be seen.

Most notably, though, both children were absolutely covered in mud.

Their tracksuits were more brown than gray, while little Evelyn also sported large smears of mud on her face.

The 25-year-old captioned the pic: “it’ll come out in the wash.”

Fans were quick to comment on the messy post-playtime appearance of the children.

One surprised follower simply stated: “Oh my word,” while another snarked, “Said no one.”

“Um hope it comes out extra strength tide and prewash,” added a further stunned fan.

However, many of Joy-Anna’s followers thought that the playtime looked fun and healthy for the siblings.

“It looks like an excellent dose of natural vitamins to me,” stated one.

Another comment read: “Some of my best and funniest childhood memories involve mud! Good for you for letting them just be kids! #greatmomma.”

“More kids should be covered in dirt rather than glued to an electronic,” praised a third.

CRAZY KIDS

Joy-Anna was recently slammed for another set up she made for her children to play outside.

At the beginning of the month, she shared a snap of her kids playing in a bin full of dirty water.

Joy-Anna captioned the post: “Added a few pots of boiling water to make it a hot tub.”

Fans were appalled with one addressing the pic on another online thread, writing: “Can we talk about how dirty the water is?

One commenter joked: “Arkansas hot tub.”

Another critic commented: “That’s disgusting-looking water. I have so many questions.

“Plus why add boiling water? It’s 70+ outside. Just put them in a bath they’d at least be in clean water.”

A further commenter wrote: “Joy’s content can be so trashy.”

Someone else chimed in: “I’m more concerned that she said she added pots of boiling water!”

In October last year, Joy-Anna and Austin announced that they were expecting a third child to welcome into the family, and later revealed that they were having a boy.

Many commenters praised Joy-Anna and her husband Austin for letting her kids have time in nature away from screens
