Digging for buried treasure
Posted in Daily Life

Brannan and Heike have a spot in the front yard where they like to play cars, dig holes, get filthy dirty, and all-around have a fun time with. This evening, Brannan was digging a pretty good hole in this favourite spot, and at my husband's suggestion, I distracted the kids and hid a bunch of pennies and a couple of quarters in the dirt. Then when the kids came back, I asked Brannan (the primary digger) if he was digging for buried treasure. He said "yeah" but was not terribly enthusiastic (since he didn't know he was about to find buried treasure!). Well, he started digging, and guess what he found! His little face just lit up. And Heike, who hadn't been that interested in this round of digging, suddenly became much more interested, so of course we had to find another little shovel for her to dig for treasure too. Brannan was so sweet too, he gave me his first "treasure" then Heike got the next one he found and the third one he took inside to Daddy. It wasn't until everyone else got a piece of "treasure" that he kept some for himself. He's such a sweetie, he just melts this mama's heart!  Here are the pics of our hunt for buried treasure!  You can see the main treasure hole next to Brannan's knee.  "X" marks the spot!  "Hey Mom! Look what I found!"  P.S. My refrigerator door still falls off when I open it! Sadly, I could not persuade the repair man to come out today. Hopefully tomorrow. It was amusing over the weekend when nothing could be done, but now I want it fixed!!  |
