Dirt - A Simple Joy

After being play group free for two years, I have finally joined a new one. The nicest thing of all is they came looking for *me* which I have to say, makes me feel a bit special. :)

Earlier this year I had actually been thinking of finding one to join once Kelton started school since it's an experience that Kaylen has yet to have. Kelton was in a play group from the time he was 9 months until he was 3.5 years. I just think that Kaylen could really benefit from playing with kids her own age and besides, with only one of them to watch over, I could actually enjoy the experience myself and be able to develop some new friendships. It's not easy for me to make the jump into meeting people so I was thrilled when someone approached me about joining their group.

Today was my first official get together. We met at a local park and the kids had a great time...of course, after their great time it was time to come home, fill up the tub and dunk them in it! The biggest of all fun today for them came from playing in a huge dirt area surrounding a tree. Lovely!! Four of the kids (three boys and my tomboy girl) had a rockin' good time and wow were they dirty when we finally called an end to it.

Here are a few pictures of my two:

Maybe next week, I'll bring a giant bottle of bubbles! That should mix really nicely with all that dirt. (hee-hee) Then, when you get them home ... just add water & they should suds right up. Presto! Clean kids à la Sheri :-)
