| Billy - age 4 |
When four-year-old Billy gets down on his knees in the backyard... in front of a pile of dirt...you can bet he's not exactly trying to cultivate the soil for planting. More than likely, this little guy just wants to get his hands, and every other part of himself dirty.

| Natalie -age 3 |
Not to be outdone by her cousin... three-year-old Natalie also can't seem to take her eyes off all that beautiful dirt. The only thing that would make it all perfect is rain! Just think of all the lovely mud pies she could make!! 🤔
I think you read them right! Two cuties, for sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Wendy! I could not resist those photos.
DeleteYour post reminded me of the time my three year old daughter was playing at mud pies in the garden, and I was warning her that it was bath and bedtime- her reaction was to,tip her little bucket over her head! Cue to pick her up and place her in the bath - so I ended mucky too.
ReplyDeleteLOL! Sounds perfect!
DeleteTwo perfect - soon to be covered in dirt - angels! Cute. When my Mom and Dad first married and I was a toddler, I have pictures of our backyard with lawn and flowers and fledgling fruit trees. But as my brother and sisters came along, the yard was let go back to dirt - which actually was fine because all the neighborhood kids were sent to play at our house! It wasn't till we were all up in school grades before the lawn and flowers reappeared.
ReplyDeleteLove it. My grandmother always had a beautiful garden and we would try to pluck the flowers when she wasn't looking. She finally designated a bald patch in her yard in which we could play with the stern warning to leave her flowers alone!
DeleteI loved learning (from my mother) how to make mud pies. Patted them all in a row on a board to dry. Must have been 2-3 years old.
ReplyDeleteMud pies were the best. Bath time...not so much.
DeleteMaking mud pies is definitely fun...I know I used to enjoy it and would add nuts from the family’s macadamia tree. Those two little ones are so cute.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Pauleen! Adding nuts to your pies was really inventive. Great idea!
DeleteI remember being about their age, maybe a bit younger and playing in the dirt when the mother next door began to fuss at her little daughter about playing in the dirt. I thought that was so strange. Children do like dirt.
ReplyDeleteYes, children love dirt. Parents are not too crazy about it being tracked in the house, but you have to admit… they do make for great photo opportunities!
DeleteYour post brought back memories of my little boys. #geneabloggers Sharing
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you enjoyed my post, Jennifer. Thank you!
DeleteThese are such wonderful photos! I am partial to old black and white and sepia photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks Valerie. I love old photos, too!
DeleteThey are so cute! Such good memories. Congrats to the person who thought to take the photos!
ReplyDeleteThanks! It was probably my mom or dad. I wish they were here so that I could pass the word along!
