This Memorial Day brought lots of visitors to our home. During one evening we were sitting outside to enjoy the cooler weather and Ella started to build a nest in the garden. We didn't plant a garden this year due to being too big to bend over and tend it- but Buck had tilled the ground so the dirt was nice and soft. She was so happy to play out in the dirt and mud.
Periodically she would clap her hands together to get the excess dirt off and look around to see where else she might get some dirt and mud for her nest.
The cutest part was when we suddenly heard her say, "Look Mom, I pick a flower for you!"
And Tanya, being the loving mother that she is, was able to retrieve her lovely flower from her happy yet muddy girl. And I, being the loving aunt that I am, hosed her off before we went inside for dinner.
I'm so glad you got pictures of those dirty kids! And I'm glad you hosed her off, too. The whole series of family pictures is just darling:) Can't wait to see you in another month-ish.
