Kids like dirt

Awhile back we got rid of our old play set, bought a new one and moved it to the other side of the yard.  So we were left with a big mulched area that I used for my garden earlier this spring.  Now we want to clean up, seed and turn it all into grass (moving my garden next spring to a spot with a little more sun).....anywho, that work should be done later this week but in the meantime the kids have had a field day 'gardening' and throwing dirt at each other.  Yesterday they (along with their neighbor friends) played outside for a good 2-3 hours....making rolly-polly farms, erecting a shrine to the good ole USA (obviously) and general good dirt fun.   Remind me again why we're getting rid of this?

We're still here!

Barely, in blogging terms, but we're still here.  I blame it on the 'good' camera.  I really should start busting it out more often, like I did today and hence this post.   Which we'll call 'Emerson and a tire swing'.    Reese and Emerson spent probably 30 minutes playing together on this thing today.....

And when my super slow laptop is done, I'll follow up with a post we'll call 'a bunch of kids and a big pile of dirt = hours of happy playtime so mom can cook and watch football'......stay tuned.
