There's just something about piles. Today as I was folding laundry on the floor I heard a little voice cry out "Look...a pile...let's JUMP in it!" And fun and frivolity ensued. There USED to be fun and frivolity after sweeping the kitchen floor. I have since put a firm stop to that! Now I can hear shouts of "salto!" (translated JUMP!) when they discover a freshly swept dirt pile in the kitchen awaiting removal to the trash can. You can see the influence of Dora and Diego on my children, as they practice their Spanish verbs on their beloved piles. Monday, February 05, 2007
The Allure of Piles

How funny...Spanish! I hate folding clothes when my two youngest are awake. They insist on the pile game and I get very frustrated. And dear Madyson loves to eat out of the pile that I am sweeping in the kitchen...gross! I guess I shouldn't have admited that I let my kitchen floor get that nasty before I sweep it :)
Oh to be a kid again:) Love the little bare feet sticking up.
Very cute! Piles are enticing to all children I think! Luke likes to "help" sweep that pile of dirt into the dust pan. Instead it just gets all spread out again!:) Your Spanish is quite impressive, Livi and Noah!!
I love Dora! Way to go with the es panol! :)
looks like fun! My piles of clothes are a LOT bigger... more kids...bigger piles...more fun!!!
