Cleaning Day
Yesterday Kiki and Baya asked for a bucket of water and some sponges. Bucket filled with soapy water, they headed down the bottom half of the garden and spent a couple of hours cleaning all the outdoor toys. We have bare earth down there, couple that with chickens and you end up with muddy toys! The swings, slide, climbing frame, playhouse, table and rocking horses all got a good scrub.
The chickens were very interested in what they were doing the whole time! The kiddos also gave all the pots, pans and plates in their mud kitchen a clean too. They did come in soaking wet and um, just a little bit muddy ;) I think that’s a sign of a fun afternoon though.
