I've been working on the railroad...

So... child labour or heaps o' fun? When we dug the tank pad, we ended up with a huge pile of dirt. Some of it was spread around the yard to fill in some low areas, but at least half was left in 2 mounds, waiting to go back in around the tanks. Well, we're still working on the tanks, but now that the tanks are in, the kids are now allowed to play in the dirt.



Beth is carving out her initial in the dirt.

They're all having fun, making a mess. They now have some small tunnels in the dirt, but I don't think my camera can pick that up. Friends that have come over (late enough in the day to be comfortable) have been taken out to the dirt pile for some fun (and so their mothers can have a fit over the amount of dirt they bring home in their clothes :D )

My kiddos would love to be able to play in that...even if just for a day. And I'd love it too! (It'd keep them happy and out of my hair for a few hours at least.)

It's all great, until they have to clean the bathtub after their baths!
