The Dirt Pile

After having some cement work done around our house last Fall, we knew that we would have to do some major landscaping once Spring arrived.  In preparation for this, we had a HUGE pile of dirt brought in and left at the back part of our driveway.  It was a major temptation for the girls, and we finally gave in and let them play away in it.

My little girl who normally doesn't like to get anything dirty/sticky/messy on her was still questioning this whole "dirt thing!"

Before the girls became saturated in mud and dirt, I did manage to take a few pictures of them next to the beautiful (and sweet-smelling) hydrangeas that had just bloomed.  I only wish that those flowers had a longer life cycle.  They just don't seem to last long enough.
