Life's a Beach

i decided that we hadn't done enough activities in the last few weeks, and i was pretty sure evan was bored out of his mind.  so, this week i made portable sandboxes for each of them and evan was allowed to "paint" a sheet.  minus a few tears (from grace...having a rough afternoon), everything was a huge hit!

she loved finding sand in her backyard just like the beach.  but it was all fun and games until she tried to eat a handful.  then it was all tears, sips of water and a nap.

my little busy bee!  building castles and smashing them in his little sandbox was just as much fun as he remembered from the beach.  but this beach cost $6...the other beach was a little bit more expensive!

for evan, a spray bottle alone provides hours of entertainment (and a few minutes of terror for tillie when she becomes his target).  add some food coloring and hang up a sheet, and you get sheer excitement and a few moments to sit and catch my breath for mommy!

after all that fun, we had to add in some chores....those ended up being fun too!  its a win-win for everyone.  he burns off some energy, and we get a sparkling clean wagon
