By reading through that title, you might think that the best evening ever might include going to a baseball game....or taking a train ride....or a Netflix marathon while your laundry puts away itself and someone else cleans the bathroom (is that just me?) But, around here - that means that a REAL, LIVE digger comes to your neighbors backyard and you get to stand on the deck and watch.
That's pretty much what constitutes fun around here these days (if you're Max)...
Here's what went down... Our neighbor boys have a landscape/mowing company.
They had to rent a digger for one of their clients and then decided to use
it in their own backyard to finish the paver patio they decided to put in last fall.
(Sidenote: they are really nice people, but man does their backyard need some help!)
I spotted the digger from our kitchen window as they drove it through the side yard.
This perked Max's interest right away....
So, we decided to put on our "official" digger watching outfit
which included a fuzzy jacket, zoo pajama pants, and Thomas rain boots.
I mean could this outfit be any more fabulous??
First, we watched from the deck - while I pretended to be tending to some
plants that actually died last fall and Max rearranged some sticks
(you know, just so they wouldn't think we were too creepy).
Max didn't get the message to not blatantly stare at our neighbors...
But, then we decided, who cares, and ventured into the yard and over to the fence!
The neighbors were more than happy to oblige Max's fascination...and beeped a couple
times for him and dumped loads of dirt into wheel barrows...
Max would tell me "it's honking Mommy!"
When the digger finally went bye bye, we decided it was
pretty much the best evening ever and celebrated with dinner made by Papa Rob!
Hooray for free entertainment!
xoxo
