Workin' in the Dirt

Eli has a new-found passion (obsession, really) with working (not playing) in the dirt. He'll tell me, "Mommy, I need to go work in the dirt to make money." Where did that come from?? At least we see a good work ethic in him early on. Lately, both Eli and Madeline have to go straight into the shower when they come inside at night because they are absolutely filthy. Guess that's what washing machines (and occasionally Clorox2) are for.

Eli, what's that tool for??
