Playing In The Dirt

We have the best backyard for kids--lots of grass, big shady trees, a little patio and wooden fence (perfect for chalk drawings!) and a perimeter of dirt. Delaney and Elliot love playing outside and especially love playing / 'gardening' in the dirt. They dig and dig, making holes and filling up cups with dirt. Elliot also enjoys throwing dirt, eating dirt, rubbing dirt in his hair and pouring dirt down the inside of shirt-but we're working on this.

Now that the weather is getting nicer, the kids spend more time outdoors than indoors, and I love it--little kids are meant to be outside, and by nighttime, Laney and Elliot are rosy cheeked and smell like the sunshine and grass.
