Kids and Dirt!

Today at about 11:30 a.m. I walked out my front door
and my eyes went wide because their was a huge pile
of dirt(about 10 tons!) in my driveway. I realized that
my van was still in the garage. I knew the dirt was
coming. I didn't know when. I was waiting for Rick's
call. Well come to find out the kids had left the phone
on for two hours. My cell phone was on vibrate. So Rick
in desperation called the neighbor(Marjorie) to let me
know. I of course was getting in the shower when
Marjorie knocked. So there it was 10 tons of dirt!
Jen Ferre just happened to be there at the neighbors
when my dilemma happened.Well at about 4:00 here
comes Kevin Ferre with shovel in hand to help get
the dirt in the backyard. A little later two more men
came. Rick had no idea until he came home.He had
been sick the past couple of days so the help was
very much appreciated. My kids and neighbor kids
had already been playing in it since they got home
from school. They helped and played and played
some more. They dug tunnels, made sand angels,
made cakes, buried themselves, threw sand, jumped
off the "mountain". Who knew sand was so fun!
