Enjoying small boys

It's been a while since I put up a 'Gammy' post.  There are a few delightful (to me) things we've done in the last week that I thought would be fun to add here.

A couple of weeks ago Luke and Aaron and I enjoyed exploring the small pasture next to our place.  It was windy, as you can see by Aaron's hair in the picture below.

 

Luke found some grass that had gone to seed.  The seed head was soft and fluffy.  Unfortunately the wind was so strong that he had his eyes closed.

 

On another day the boys enjoyed the process of putting up the Christmas tree.

 

Luke had arranged the Nativity set along with some small bells we've collected, so the next day when Charlie came, he discovered the Nativity and the bells.

 

On yet another day Luke asked to take a squirt bottle outside.  He found a spot in the yard where there was plenty of fine dust.   We located some sticks for stirring and an hour flew by making mud.

 

At one point Chuck came out to see what he was doing.  Chuck asked if he was making mud pies and Luke said he was.  Chuck then asked if we would be eating them for lunch.  Luke gave him a scathing look and said, "They are mud!  You can't eat mud!"

While he worked on his mud, Aaron explored.  I got this picture of him standing on Chuck's mini tramp, wearing his new 'Angry Birds' hat.
