An afternoon in the mud with NanaB

Corey's parents were in town this weekend for Charlotte's second birthday party. NanaB and I didn't take Charlotte outside Friday afternoon intending to play in the mud, but it just sort of happened. I'm still shocked that the dirt came out of her jeans and jacket. Charlotte was just so happy digging in the muck. It was really sweet to see.



The new gardening set from CJ's Great Uncle Dave, Great Aunt Lisa, and cousin Ellie was perfect for digging up wormies.



NanaB and CJ pretended to plant flowers and water them.



I was carrying a sleeping Peter in the Baby Bjorn carrier, and I eventually needed to take him inside to relieve my poor back. [It's a known fact that sleeping babies weigh about twice as much as awake babies.] In my absence, NanaB watched in amusement as CJ (aka Elmer Fudd) poked a stick into the juniper bushes looking for bunnies, saying "not here -- how 'bout dis one?" as she moved from bush to bush. Poor bunnies.
