There is one thing in life that all kids are drawn to…

dirt…

except my kids.

They can’t stand the thought of getting dirty…

Until yesterday, that is…

William discovered dirt…

he was pretending to be a bug…

and, of course, bugs play in the dirt…

He discovered that getting dirty is fun…

Joseph finally decided to join in…

and together, Joseph and William discovered…

that dirt is…

just plain fun…

and while cleanup was a bit of a chore…

I can’t help but smile…

when I think of those boys covered from head to toe…

smiling…

and laughing…

and William exclaiming, “I like dirt!”

It’s about time!
