Holy Crap!

Literally.

We've experienced a really nice warm up, temperature wise, this week. I decided to take advantage of it and get the boys outside for awhile. On our way to the swingset I noticed something that a winters worth of snow had been hiding from us...

a literal moat of dog crap around the swingset. Generally the dog stays out of the landscaped areas of our yard but apparently this year he decided to switch things up. If it was in the yard I'd just mow over it(lazy I know).

I wasn't about to build a bridge so off to the kitchen I go for my handy supply of latex gloves(used for polishing the silver, nothing dirty so get your minds out of the gutter) and a shopping bag. About a half hour passed and the boys were safely able to enjoy the swingset and slide to it's fullest.

I can't wait for spring to be here. The warm temps have already fallen, along with a fresh moat of rainwater keeping us from the fun that's waiting outside.

Soon...very soon.

That's Crappy. Literally. Hope the weather breaks soon and that all the mud dries up too.

yeah the mud's aweful. It's actually worse than the dog crap...

hang in there, but i got to tell you, your post actually reminded me of a SNL 'skit commercial' of cat poo. Where the kids used the poo and made funny animals out of the molds. Have you seen it? it was really funny.

No I don't think I've seen that one. I had to keep the youngest from picking it up with me so I would have been in a very similar situation if I wasn't successful LOL
