Yesterday was one of those days that goes down in the memory books. We went up to our farm with BIGfamily and played all afternoon. We put a new roof on the old farm house over the last couple of weeks, so there was a ton of debris. Old shingles and wood. We had a dumpster dropped off on Friday and went to town. It was beautiful outside. About 67 degrees, sunny, breezy. The big boys worked on getting everything in the dumpster. They didn't finish,but there is more time left on the dumpster rental,so no worries. The little ones played on the giant dirt pile and got SO dirty! We raked and made a big leaf/stick pile. We brought our grill up there and had hamburgers and hot dogs, potato salad and chips. Even soda! Outside eating around the fire DH started. It was the best. The children were dirty and happy, tired from playing so hard. It was wonderful to bring them home and put them in a warm bath, then straight to bed. They slept like rocks, in bed a full hour early. DH and I hung out and watched a movie, NO KIDS!! We were in bed and asleep by 11pm.
It was a day that didn't cost alot of money. No disney or shopping spree, but I know my kids will remember that one for a long time. It was like magic. Watching them work and play so hard. They were so hungry from all the country air. They were so happy and the grownups were too. Some days....you want to put in a bottle and save. This was one of them.
