We were expecting the truck. (Just not at 8 am!) We are giving our yard a bit of a makeover. My husband had ordered some dirt and gravel. He's taking off tomorrow to work on it. I took before pictures so I will post before and after pics when we are done.
Anyway, I threw on some clothes and stuck a headband in my hair which was falling in my face. I caught the guy before he dumped it. Good thing. My van was in the garage. He told me you better get it out the dirt will spread when I dump it. So the very nice man moved his truck and let me pull my van out. Good that I did...I would have never gotten it out with all that dirt!
So, I had to sweep up and shovel a little of it so I could pull the van onto part of the driveway when he left. I had actually worked up a sweat at 8:30 in the morning! We also had to tarp it because there is a chance of rain this afternoon. Yet another reason I like homeschooling...I had 2 extra sets of hands to help me with the tarp!
What do you get when you combine 7 cu. yards of dirt, 1 cu. yard of gravel and 2 homeschooled kids?
Recess!
Claire was helping shovel the uncovered dirt under the tarp...with her little blue shovel!!

Wow! Saved in the nick of time!! What a way to wake up!
Can't wait to see the after pics!
Zara saw the dirt and wanted to come dig with Claire! LOL!
Fun! Dirt and rocks make much better play than the 10 tons of composted manure we got earlier this year:)
I was thinking of you and Claire today when we checked out the southwest version of the Little Red Hen...Armadilly Chili! Have you all read it?
I haven't read that one yet, Kara. I'll have to look and see if the library has it. It sounds cute!
