It's been so nice lately that the kids are just begging to go outdoors.
Today I let Shep spend part of his quiet time outside. I really needed to get some work done, so I asked him to stay on the patio where I could keep an eye on him.
After about 20 minutes he came bursting inside yelling, "Mom! I've made something! DOG POOP!"
And then for ten minutes I listened to him explain that when you combine sand, dirt, and water, you can, in fact, make the most amazing version of dog poop, you know, ever.
And that is how we celebrate St. Patrick’s Day in these here parts.
