dirt party...

the little man loves dirt...

so, the birthday party... all about dirt.  

we played with mud dough using the recipe from here (plus brown food coloring)...

for a take-home bag, had a dirt dig for treasures and filled our bags with them...

and for dessert, we dug into some delicious mud pies...

happy 3rd birthday, little guy :)
