Finn’s new favorite pastime is hanging out with Victor and his team of landscapers. If we’re at home, he wants to be out there with the guys. And if we have to leave, he’s always very concerned about what time we’ll be back to make sure he’ll get to see the guys before they leave for the day. I keep telling Victor to shoo him away if he’s bothering them, but he never does and it even looks like he enjoys having Finn around to “help” and chat.
After school on Friday, I made Finn a snack and before I knew it he was outside eating, chatting and watching Victor work on the dry stream bed.
Then he decided he wanted to dig, so he gave us a long monologue about which shovel he needed, ended up bringing out two, and got to work.
Yesterday, the boys decided they’d like a mud pit (probably spurred on by the muddy areas the workers had created to make the trench-digging easier). Bruce and I didn’t want the boys to be in the way so we asked Victor where would be a good place. Victor then added some dirt to build up a dam in part of the dry stream bed and made the mud pit for them.
They were in heaven.
