This summer we have been working on about a gazillion projects in our yard. Sometimes, while I am out working, the girls stay in the house to play. Sometimes I keep Claire with me in the backpack, and sometimes she stays in with the girls.
This morning, as I downloaded some pictures, I found out what really happens while I am outside.

I must admit, the playdough artwork is very nice.

How does that saying go? "When the cat is away. . . ?
I'd say those messes are worth the free baby-sitting! I can relate to the yard projects. We started ours Apr. 2008 and are still FAR from finished. Sigh.
