Spring mud cake

The weather is finally warming up!  All it took was getting up to above 40 (I think it was 46 degrees), and my kids were barefoot and then shirtless.  It is so nice to be playing outdoors again!!

After school, Alivia and Rayna came over to play.  The four kids were busily running around the yard, riding bikes in the driveway, and then they disappeared to the backyard where they were all hard at work on a major project. I went to investigate with my camera in hand.

Here’s the two big kids.  They are just so cute together!

They were making a cake out of mud and mulch and grass and some pieces of blue construction paper and a sprinkle of sugar from the kitchen.
