PDaddy and Sam are building a "dirt pit" today. We've tried and tried to get that kid to stop digging holes in our yard large enough to swallow an unsuspecting elephant, but alas, he's part ant, or gopher, or armadillo, or something. So, we had the most brilliant idea to find a remote part of the yard, remove the grass, border it off with landscaping timbers, till up the soil, add a few large bags of play sand, and Wa-La...Sam will be the proud owner of of his very own Dirt Pit. It is worthy to note that this is not a "sand box." Let us just get that straight right now! Sam wants that to be VERY clear! :-)
I'm back to watching my birds this morning while I have my hot tea. I've accumulated quite the titmouse population. I love those little guys, and I am in awe of the sounds that those little things make! Birds are so cool. Seriously. If I'm not mistaken, we had a Pine Warbler this morning. When I get a chance today, I'm going to check my bird book. He was a pretty little guy..or gal.
I'm off to get us ready for church. Jack is being dropped off at Meem's house from his sleepover, and then we'll see him at church. I talked to him this a.m., and he was still agog over the arena football game. I think he's hooked. Must've been quite a game!
Tons of packing today and finding all of our camping stuff, fishing poles, flashlights, s'mores skewers, sleeping bags, OFF!, sunscreen, water shoes, hiking boots, sun hats, inner tubes...oh my. I wonder where it's all at?!? Not to mention the laundry that HAS to be washed and put away today because we all know how much laundry you bring home from vacation...much less one that involves three kids, a lake, mud, hiking trails, etc. Mercy!
