Mud Pies

This knocks off one of our activities for the summer and of course - Hailey suggested it. I have rocks in my flower beds and a small garden with no dirt to spare SO yesterday after swim lessons, we ran to a place in Salem that sells dirt and bought a 5 gallon bucket of dirt. Then we headed off to the $1 store to buy pie tins and stuff to put on top.
The kids had a great time making mud pies. It was a bit messy but not too bad. Jeff thought it would be fun to have a mud fight but it was late and a bit chilly outside so we opted out of that one. If I knew someone with a field that we could get muddy, I think that might be fun. Mud volleyball anyone??

After we made mud pies, we ate mud (chocolate pudding) and dirt (crushed Oreos). What a fun night!!!
