I would like to say that Wyatt's favorite birthday was the silly string he received from his brother, or the print I got him from Sarah Jane Studios. It wasn't even the police helicopter lego set his friend Joey got him. Nope.
It was the pile of fill dirt delivered right in front of our house...and then the rain that followed. Oh, and you see that interesting (and kind of pretty) swirling pattern we've got going on in our man made lake there? Yes, that would be pollen. Which explains why we're all feeling stuffed up and yucky right now.
All three boys have been playing in this pile for the past week. They have spent many hours making bike ramps down the pile as their mama turns her head, sifting through the earth to find pieces of brick and rock...treasure to these three.
So, you know how a toddler opens the present, but plays with the box or the ribbon instead?
Yes. The same works with a huge dirt pile. And my little guy thinks it was delivered just for his special day.
So, I offer my apologies right now If you try to email or call and we don't answer. We're busy. But don't worry, you know where we'll be.
P.S. If you are in the midst of trying to play a little boy's birthday. Stop planning immediately! Simply order a large pile of dirt to be delivered in your driveway. You'll be a hit with all of the neighborhood kids. Promise!
