My boys love the DIRT

Michael has wanted compost for his garden for years. This year he finally got it! Our wonderful neighbor picked up a load in his trailer for Michael and the boys helped unload.

Here they are shoveling it into a wheelbarrow. Snow shovels worked great for the boys.


It's just so much effort for those little guys to shovel compost.

Joshua tries to get some on his shovel.

Joshua has some compost, and Adam tries to match him.

See Mom! I have dirt!

Even Olivia got to sit on the compost for a photo.

Oops! you missed the wheelbarrow!


Short clip of the boys helping their Dad shovel. Michael is so nice to let the boys "help."




Can you tell the difference between our original garden dirt and the new compost? It's like black and white. Adam is sitting in the garden pile and doesn't want to touch the compost with his hands, or even sit in it. He calls it "poop dirt."



Miss Olivia is a climber. I caught her climbing in the laundry basket and it was too cute to miss.

Next year we hope to put a garden in. We'll be messing with "poop dirt" soon enough! Cute pictures by the way!

What could be more fun than dirt? Maybe WATER and DIRT together!!
I can hardly wait for Jared to discover dirt and all the cool stuff outside... if only it would warm up and stay warm.
