Dirt Loving Girls

Ask anyone if little boys or girls are messier and most times the answer will be a resounding, "Boys!" There is also the saying that boys are noise with dirt. However anyone who knows my girls will let you know just how messy and dirty they are. Its so hard to keep their clothes clean and I have tried so many different stain removers trying to keep their clothes somewhat cleaned, but sometimes I just give up.

Case in point, one day Charlie was washing his dirtbike off, which lead to puddles in the yard. After having to tell the girls to stay out of the mud for the millionth time, I gave up and told them to have at it. Kayleigh jumped right in (literally) however, Lexi decided mud wasn't for her and kept telling me it was "too sticky" and asking me to wash her hands.

So when it came time to decide if I was going to try another attempt at my small garden again (I've tried veggies, herbs and flowers the past years with no good results) I decided instead to make a digging area for the girls.

As you can see it was a huge hit. Every time we go outside they girls make a beeline for it.

I bought them some gardening tools and construction cars for them to play with out there to keep them from bringing our indoor toys out there. They love being able to dig around and drive the cars all over. 

So I'm sorry if I laugh whenever people mention how clean and mess free girls are, because mine are anything but.
