"They're at it again"

Remember the big hole my boys dug in the backyard? Well, they are at it again. This time they were told not to dig where the pool would go anymore so now they are digging a giant hole under the swings. They have a mote around it too. The best part is how enthralled Little T. is with the process. He isn't even 2 yet but he goes out there with the big boys and plays in the dirt and in the hole just like them. It's fun to watch them being creative and getting dirty and getting along.
P.S. - I had to put this post on because Little J. requested that I make another post since they were digging again and he even told me to label it "They're at it again".

Burying Big T.

I'm catching up on all our summer fun. This is from the days of the Monster Truck Stadium. It was a Monster Truck Stadium, a regular hole, a stunt track for bikes, and a place to bury bodies. This time it was Big T. that got buried. I'm here to say that if you have boys, all you need for hours of entertainment is a shovel and some dirt.

After the Monster Truck Stadium

Not sure if you can tell what this picture is. . . it's the bathtub and all the dirt left after only 2 of my kids took a bath after digging in the dirt. They didn't even look that dirty. Since my boys bathe by themselves I didn't even notice the tub until this morning - yuck!

I should have waited to take a picture of the boy's Monster Truck Stadium. They made the hole much bigger. The baby loves to climb on top of the pile of dirt.

Time Capsule

I went to the kids assembly at school. They made a time capsule and each class created a poster to put in the time capsule. Many kids had memories of the "dust bowl" (also known as the playground). Their playground is all dirt so when the wind blows (as it usually does here) it was miserable for the kids. Luckily they recently got some grass but 98% of the play area is still dirt.
