Makes My Monday

What Makes My Monday today is seeing my boys playing in the dirt and getting all dirty!


Chase and Cody found this pile of dirt a few weeks back in the back yard and have been playing in it all the time!
Chase at the top. The dirt is a white powder dirt... On Your Mark, GO!
Still sliding down... With clumps of what looks like rocks but are only dirt clods.
And a trick at the bottom! This dirt has kept the boys occupied for the last week!
Cody going down the hill on his belly!
It even kept the neighbors kids, Grace and Spencer, occupied on Friday when they came over to play in the dirt with Chase and Cody. The three boys had races on who climbed the fastest and who slide down the fastest. Most of the time when they slide down it looked something like this...One big clump of dirt.
They are differently dirty after playing in the dirt and it's fair share has made it into my house for me to clean, but it's worth it just to keep them occupied and outside! Outside in January, how awesome!
Now hoping this wonderful dirt will still be as wonderful after our 7" of rain this week.

There's nothing like a pile of dirt to make little boys happy! It's the truth. Who needs computer games and fancy, expensive toy, huh? Fun to see the fun! Nice visiting from Cheryl's this morning
