Getting Dirty

I hesitated to take the grandchildren outside today. Not only did I have five of them to keep track of by myself, but it rained last night and I was somewhat afraid they might head straight for the dirt pile. I needn't have worried. Ha! (Please forgive the barrage of photos. It's how I keep my sanity.)











So, they got dirty, and we all survived. A few of them had their clothes tossed into the washer at the back door and another couple were brushed off and declared good enough. I found that a dirt pile keeps them centrally contained and rather happy. And when they're happy, I'm happy too.

    1. It's a really good thing we went outside yesterday because today they would be covered in mud!

    1. It got chilly here overnight too, and rainy. My year is a soggy mess. Good thing we played out yesterday.

  3. Perhaps you should plant a garden with them....
    Pumpkins perhaps?
    Cheers!

    1. That's a really good idea. Maybe Grandpa can give up a little garden space for a pumpkin patch. That would be fun.
