Sandbox

Well, Brad and I have this huge elaborate sandbox plan in our head that he is going to build our own huge sandbox that lots of kids can come over and play in...trouble is figuring out where/how/when to do that with all the other things we have on the list that are limited to the very precious time we have together two days a week...as it goes with owning your house and projects like that...SO after the last few days watching the kids play in rocks and mulch, we decided to get a small sandbox temporarily. They just love it soooo much and I think we will get many more hours of contentment before the huge one can be built. And of course there is always c-list when we decide to sell it. :) Anyway, it already proved to be a huge success as they played in it for about an hour as soon as it was full of sand. :) Now I just need my morning "shade" for the patio and we will be set.



Side note: Getting the sandbox...having the kids in their Husker outfits (Thanks again Grandma!)...took me back to almost exactly a year ago when we were doing all the same things with a brand new baby...which took me back to the Sept 2010 part of the blog and then you keep reading and boy, how simple it seems now looking back at surviving those first few weeks with two kids and then Makin's surgery. Getting him off the bottle and dropping morning nap now are a piece of cake in comparison. :) Ready to enjoy a much easier fall! :)
