Digging in the Dirt

Kai and Nora make a mud birthday cakeDigging in the DirtIt has turned cold again with the themometer in the backyard reading 40F this morning (With a fair bit of wind to boot). In other news, the grass in our little postage stamp of a backyard isn’t doing too well.  We’ve been in three Aramco houses now and our backyards always seem to be blighted.  We do see others with lush foilage spilling over their walls so it must be something we are (not) doing. Nora’s big smile

Anyway, the upside is that we have a pretty big sandbox!  Nora just likes moving dirt but Kai is definitely cooking stuff.  He is good at including her as to where to put her sand to further the recipe.  The picture of the two of them together is where Superman is directing Nora how to mix sand and water in just the right proportion to make a birthday cake.
