Instead of a regular Monday Morning Project, we headed outdoors first thing this morning to enjoy the beautiful weather. The boys woke up with some extra energy today that needed to be burned off before we tackled schoolwork. We live very close to a Diamond Mine and although we have never been digging for diamonds, the boys have heard us talking about the diamonds that have been found. They decided a good place to start looking was the backyard. So far the only things that have been discovered are rocks and plant roots.
Chelsea stayed in most of the morning. She is suffering from a bad case of Poison Ivy and was feeling miserable.

How fun! Reminds me of the Story of the Treasure Seekers that we are finishing up right now. The kids started their hunt by digging up their 'garden.' They wondered why their dad ever went to work rather than just digging for treasure all day. :-) You may not earn much, but I suppose it is more fun!
We would really like to go dig for diamonds at some point. Maybe we could meet and go together!
Please give Chelsea our love. I get the WORST poison ivy rashes so she has my sympathy. Hope she feels better soon!
