House prep

We're kickin' it into high gear around here.  Less than 2 weeks until the house is on the market, so there's much to do... like packing up 700 of the 704 toys on the floor etc.

In all the chaos, no new pictures to be had.  He are a few more from the Granny/Poppa weekend extravaganza.

Two boys take the back road,

And lo and behold, they find a cute toad.

It doesn't take much to delight wee boys, that's for sure.  They've been happily playing in the last yard of topsoil every day this week.  Today Sam managed to throw an entire shovel-full into his mouth and ear.  His own mouth and ear.  That's hard to do.  He looked up at me with an entirely black-coated tongue extended as if to say "now how do I get out of this pickle?".  A wipe of my hand and an apple juice tonic, and he was back at the excavation site.

When I changed his diaper before his nap a solid 1/2 cup of dirt and sand spilled out onto the floor.  Oh well.  I guess, knowing Sam as I do, it might have been much, much worse.
