Just give my kids a pile of dirt….

Sometimes I feel like getting my kids ready is like trying to herd cats…they all go in different directions,  ( if you are a mom you know what I am talking about)  Anyway the other day I had the kids ready to go, I asked them to wait in the front yard while I ran upstairs to grab Maverics blanket (which takes all of about 30 seconds)

In that time they popped their shoes off, plopped down and were happily digging in the empty flower bed.  Happy as can be, making a mess of their clothes, hands and feet.  So what did I do?  Well I wanted to scream…but instead I took a photo ( so some day when I am old, I can remember how cute they were)  dusted them off and off to the park we went…looking like a bunch of dirty hillbilly’s!  At least “I” know they were clean before we walked out the door!
