Many people say that gardening with children is an ideal way to introduce them to basic scientific experiments. Today Amy, Evan and I have been finding out if it is possible to move more dirt inside the house than there is outside.

In July of this year I shall be walking 78 miles in 6 days in aid of the Joseph Salmon Trust, a charity founded by my close friends in memorial to their son Joseph who died aged 3 in April of 2005. Please look here for further details and consider sponsoring me. Thank you.

reminds me of myself rolling around in the mud.
@ Sam’s trip: I think Australia just tried to deport him for a couple of weeks, just as a breather till he returns ;)

I can’t stop grinning at those adorable expressions! And the dirt picture, save that for when he has children.

Was he eating the dirt?

A dirty child is invariably a happy child.

It looks like he’s good at that.

Ha - My Alexander has the same jacket as Evan’s. It’s a combo thing right?
Yeah where did you get the strawbs? Asda?
Great pictures, they should be framed!

Xbox4NappyRash - He’s an expressive little chap isn’t he
Whit’s kids - They should start some sort of club.
Bec - Indeed.
Holmes - I think I’m going to take that as a compliment
Arjan - Unfortunately Australia can’t deport him as he’s a passport holder. They will just have to imprison him.
Imperceptible - I have a whole stack of pictures just waiting to be shown them when they grow up.
Jason - He eats dirt, yet won’t touch carrots. Go figure.
Morticia - Then our must be bloody ecstatic.
Darren - Oh yes, a prize winner.
Lise M - The strawberrys were from the supermarket and probably imported from spain at great cost to the environment. I try not to think about it.
Gail - Yeah, a combo thing. Amy has a pink one as well.
Ed - I’m willing to sacrifice clean carpets for a topic to blog about.

I like the missing piece of carpet. Do you just cut it out and throw it away when it gets too dirty?

Jeff - Don’t you have doormats in the USA? Missing carpet indeed!
on Mar 19th, 2008 at 9:33 pm
I knew that of course. The optical illusion gives the appearance like the wooden flooring is below the raised carpet edges. Just poking a little fun…
*run away!*
