This is a two-part blog, you might have caught on by my title. Last night after church, Mr. Lynn Beaty promised Matthew a load of dirt to be delivered to our house this week for him to play in. Well, much to our surprise, a BIG lo-boy dump truck rolled up in our driveway this evening sounding it's horn for Matthew to come out. He got to help back the truck up and dump the dirt in a perfect spot for him to play. WOW!! What a SURPRISE!!! Thanks Mr. Lynn.
Now for Part 2. Lane missed school today. He was sooooo tired and drained, just felt terrible. No fever, but he really was sick. Really sick, that is, until the dump truck rolled in!! He scurried out doors to see just what all the commotion was about. Only to take one diving leap into the dirt pile and be told to get back inside cause he stayed home sick today. He hollered "that's not fair, I was just faking!" OOPS!!! Big mistake! Needless to say, he'll be lucky if he gets to play in it this week!!! YEP, you guessed it. After 2 hours of crying because he couldn't play in the dirt, and telling me how unfair I am, I guess you could chalk it up to a LESSON LEARNED!!!!!

Wow! It looks like they had a blast! There is nothing like playing in a big pile of dirt!
You've got to give him some credit for being an EXCELLENT actor if he "faked it" all day long! I would have given in to the boredom after an hour or two! I'm glad he's "well" :-)
