My kids play in the dirt. They like it. They make little piles and bury little treasures. They especially like to add water and make “pudding”. Grandpa Hummel would be proud. He liked to play in the dirt, too. And was very proud of his feet, which is, of course, where I get my foot-vanity. I have beautiful feet, you know. 
It’s been intermittently warm here. As the Spring often is in Nebraska – 65 degrees one day, 33 degrees the next. That’s Nebraska. And we have had a couple opportunities to get outside and play. A couple days ago it was about 60 degrees, so we spent the afternoon outside. In the dirt. Our garden patch is currently just a big dirt space.
And then yesterday evening when it was 44 degrees, Tim wanted to go outside. I kept putting him off, it was too cold. Finally when we were headed to church for the Lenten dinner, I put his jacket on and sent him out the door a few minutes ahead of Tara and me. When I looked back outside, I didn’t see Tim…until I noticed this:
Playing in the dirt is important work for a little guy!
I’m delirious with joy!!! I LOVE these pictures….can you believe that I too have ooldes of pictures of just my kids feet…from birth…My Brag Book…and here’s their feet at age 3 & right below is the back of their head at the same age…Warning to Beth: When kids get old enough to have girlfriends, the girlfriends ask why there are sooo many pictures of their feet. My kids just say, “Have you met my mom?”
That 1st pic. of Tim is priceless…I LOVE the way little toes clutch the ground. And I LOVE the back shot of him working so hard in the dirt! EXCELLENT!
Do you suppose there’s a market out there for back of head & feet shots? Stranger things have happened (pet rocks for instance)…I have to consider all my options and boy wouldn’t that be fun!
Great photos! Be sure to take one of them in snow boots on Sunday. What is up with this spring?
Working in the garden… Ehhhxcellent.
By the way, I have beautiful feet too, in case anyone was wondering.
These feet? Really?
