muddy mommy, boats, and reading material

The Facebook Caption read:
"How should we get the dirt off the tree?
Oh, never mind she's got it covered!"

1 Lots of fun today as our tree removal saga continues. Michie was up today and her job was to use the power washer to get the dirt out of the tree roots so it can be chainsawed into pieces. Needless to say there's a bit more work to be done to get to the cutting up phase but she certainly worked at getting the bulk off the stump.
2 The kidlets play in the mud too and we spend a big of time digging out roots and throwing dirt and rocks. But the best part was showing them how to take little sticks or leaves and make boats and float them down the river of water and mud along the edge of the street.
3 Books are on shelves! My book club is reading Fifty Shades of Grey and I've already read it so it's time to pick a new one. I am thinking of The 100 Year Old Man Who Climbed Out the Window. Has anyone read this book, and if you have would you recommend it?
