We're getting a new backyard! Really!
Our old backyard spent most of its time under water, tired and spent, muddy and cracked. So, we brought in A LOT of dirt and we're starting from scratch. We're not done. Not even close. In fact, the first loads of dirt arrived almost three weeks ago. So, you might imagine that this mama is growing impatient.
What better solution for impatience than to play. And play in that dirt we did.
Notice Pie in her dress and pink sparkly shoes! Yep, it was spontaneous and I would never have dreamed of stopping their play. That was, of course, until Peace found the blade from gardening sheers buried. Yikes!
So we moved on to the machinery left by the workers. Yes, they left the keys in the ignition. No, we did not turn it on!
Like much of the play in our home, each child required a turn in the spotlight. Each had to take their turn climbing, posing, jumping to Papa. Yet, each made a memory that will last a lifetime. All from a little dirt!
What an adventure!

too much fun! ahhhh, dirt! you know what happens when you add water to all that dirt (even more fun!)
ReplyDeleteOh I know you can feel my jealousy from oh so far away -- yes, I am that green!! But how fantastic for you, and the kids! You are absolutely right that they will remember this dirt. I have a very distinct memory of dirt in a neighbors yard when I was younger, we rode our bikes on it for days!!
ReplyDeleteLove the photos, especially the sparkly shoes!
Sending love, despite the jealousy!
