Boys Will Be Boys....

I admit our boys have a unique childhood.  They are allowed to spend large portions of their childhood days filthy dirty, digging in the dirt, building forts, and of course working hard. 

I can't even imagine the fortitude it took to dig a hole this large and not be totally exhausted afterwards!  


Then there are times they aren't just dirty but real mud balls! 



Always important to have a girl supervisor to make sure things are going according to plan.  Notice the "forms" for their concrete operation?  They were building the foundation for a fort, they had it perfectly smooth and then they decided to just dive in, I guess they just couldn't take it they had to get muddy!



Boys this dirty get hosed off outside, see how much you learn as a country kid?


Then there are times that play gives way to hard work.  Tobers is chopping thistles here.


Whippersnapper raking gravel. 


Then back to play for a while.


Don't worry, we make them reinforce the sides of all tunnels with 2x4 lumber and keep a close eye on their operation.


Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek into the boys growing up activities!  You can only imagine my laundry pile now can't you?
