Mucking about outside

I feel sanity approaching… for the last couple of days the girls have spent at least an hour outside by themselves, mucking about in the dirt. They are working on a couple of vats of dirt soup, and discovered the water standing putrid in the wheelbarrow. You know – kid stuff. Aside from having to wash the dog, and one of the girls (who “forgot” to ask to come inside to pee,) I definitely am in favour of children and dirt.
Spice beside one of our youngest apple trees.
Sugar on the prowl for marbles buried in the dirt.
By the way, the yarn extensions are still holding on. Alhough they have pulled loose quite a bit on the “part” areas. Note, Jrock actually did their “two puffs” for these pictures. His first time handling elastics! and he did a good job.
YES!!! kids and dirt are one of my favorite combinations! It never ceases to amaze me how much more time they spend outside when the weather warms (although in a areas that get snow they seem to be outside all year round) yay for spring and yay for dirt!!
super cute extensions by the way!
Ok..I want to know your secret!! How do they play outside in the dirt and stay sooo clean!! LOL Please share!
Well, first of all, you take the pictures at the beginning of play time!
But seriously, they actually are pretty tidy girls. They still get muddy, but aside from the part you can see Spice sitting in, our yard doesn’t have a lot of “dirt” – except the garden beds, but they are raised. So I guess that keeps them a bit cleaner!
