Sunday was a dirty, dirty day. But it didn't start out that way.
You know when you watch Househunters on HGTV and the people always look at the back deck. The realtor says, you can really see yourself sitting out there and enjoying a cup of coffee. Whatever. Who does that? How often does that happen? Well, after hearing a realtor say it to me over 4 years ago, I sat on my deck, enjoyed a cup of coffee and read the Sunday paper on my mother's day present love seat. Then it rained. I have a goal to do this every week now.
As the day progressed, we had 2 sudden rainstorms. But that didn't make the kids go inside. Instead, they camped out in the neighbor's screened in porch. Then played after the rain and proceeded to get really muddy and dirty. This was the end of the day. Dirt Balls.
The larger dirt ball you see in this picture went out to work on the new pathway in the mud (more on the new pathway in future posts). He attempted to break out some recently exposed concrete with the neighbor. They managed to both get covered in grime while busting up the concrete and Glenn's sledgehammer. At least they both had a beer to celebrate the victory of Man v. Concrete.
Everyone was so competely filthy that we ate outside on the deck.
These pictures don't really capture the complete dirt picture of these two.
But, out of the three, Dad wins the most dirty award because he had mud in his ear.
