Mud Bath Anyone?

With the construction in the backyard...we had quite a mud pit with last week's rain. We were all out there Friday playing between showers when Gavin ran towards the edge of the porch and shot back his mischievous look. You could see it in his eyes...yup he jumped right off the back porch into the biggest mud puddle. This had to be one of the best laughs we have had so far because once he jumped it caused him to loose his balance and belly flop right in the nice red Georgia clay. He then proceeded to do his best Tom Cruise impression from the first Mission Impossible...on his belly trying not to put his hands in the stickiness...so wish I had the camera to catch it. But here is the aftermath...

Any tips on getting red Georgia clay stains out of clothes?

Out Latest Adventure

Four years ago I came home from London to find this master piece; our arbor, stone work and sod in the backyard. We have really enjoyed and all the fun we have had back there with friends and family. But with the addition of G Little, it just seems we need a place to put all those toys....and with all the Spring pollen it lead us to the idea of adding a sunroom! So our latest adventure....has brought down the arbor.

 Gavin is enjoying his last swing...don't worry I have asked for it to be moved to a new location.

Last Friday we ripped up the stones and it made an awesome dirt pit for Gavin. We took out his beach toys and he had a blast getting so dirty! Saturday we started tear down...

And by Tuesday afternoon, we had the concrete pad and stone patio done...more progress to come!

Reading

I love that Gavin loves books and we have quite the collection growing in this house. I just can't say no to them :) Some of his favorites right now are the Spot books...and I guess he's been paying attention when Matt and I read them to him. He's finally awake on this lazy Saturday morning...so enjoy because I am racing up the stairs now to see get some good morning sugar!
