He With The Most Dirt Wins
This weekend was dirty! The wind was out of control and there was so much dirt and dust in the air that you couldn't see the mountains. But even though it was blustery, Saturday was warm enough to spend the entire day outside. So we did. Rob and I worked on the yard (there are so many projects we feel a little overwhelmed). While we worked the kids played and played and played and played. On Saturday evening we went down to our friends for a BBQ. The kids added several more layers of dirt playing in their very fun backyard. After a busy day full of play, dust, and dirt we packed our kids up and headed home. They were all exhausted and were dying to go to bed, but had to bathe first. You should have seen the muddy tub. Ick. Wish I had taken some pictures to prove that my kids were the dirtiest kids ever. I love it. The dirtier the kid the better the day they had!

Yes - I wouldn't trade the playing outside time for any amount of dirt - well maybe. That little ditch was actually flooding our yard on Sunday and I have to admit the kids got a little more muddy than I would have liked :-) It was so fun to hang out - we love your family. Let's do it again soon!
I dont know why but Finn ends up the most dirty under his finger and toe nails, cant get/keep them clean!
As children, we only bathed on Saturday nights. That seems unthinkable now, but we lived to tell about it.
D.
I remember the Sat. night bath. I don't think I even got the water that dirty. Should try it again and save water, I guess, although I'd have to sleep in the back bedroom.
