Dirt and more dirt!

The joys of being a little boy.  Number one on our list is playing in the dirt.  Yesterday, me and the boys sat outside for hours and simply played and dug in the dirt.  Yes, I had piles of laundry sitting inside to be washed, folded, and put away and yes my kitchen was in need of a cleaning too.  And yes, my usual "to do" list was a mile long but as I sat there with my boys and watched them interact with each other in such a positive way, I felt drawn to get my camera out.  I would have never imagined that something so simple as digging in the dirt would bring all three of us so much contentment.  This is what life is really about, realizing that things you think "must" get done can actually wait and focus on what's more important.  This time with them will only last for a short while so I continue to soak it all in (even if it means getting my newly done nails a little dirty).  My love for these two just grows so much more each day and I am so grateful beyond words that God placed them in my arms.
Happy Friday everyone ~ now go get dirty :)
