On Top Of The World.

Or the giant dirt pile in our back yard.  We are (in)patiently waiting for the giant pile of dirt in our back yard to be removed and replaced with soft, green, beautiful, sod.  The ground has dried out a great deal in the past week so I am hoping this event will happen sooner rather than later.  We actually have a pretty good sized yard, much bigger than I had expected.  The kids want to play out there so badly and I have given in.  But as you can imagine, it is a giant mess!  We are fortunate in that we have a giant field next to our townhome.  It is a giant area of grass and our kids have so much room to run around.  Truthfully, we have a park (without the swings) in our back yard-amazing.  There is a good sized grassy hill that we climb every day to check on the birds.  There are a ton of Killdeer birds and we have found 2 of their (dirt) nests with eggs in them.  There are also jackrabbits that keep us entertained.  I have seen as many as 4 at the same time.  They even hop on top of our dirt pile which is quite entertaining to watch.  So, with dirt coated shoes, very dirty hands, and the need to continually sweep my floor we have remained entertained even without our grass!
