Snow and Rain Won't Keep Us Out of the Sandbox!

Confession time - I've gotten a little mentally tired of writing every day.  I decided that meant I should take a little break, so I did!  I'm aiming to get back to regular posts and an update of the week at a glance page, but for now I'm just going to do a quick update of today's fun.  It's a rainy/snowy day, but Mr. A's current favorite words are "DIRT!" and "TRUCK!" which he says with great gusto when he wants to go out to the sandbox.  Since that isn't practical today I decided to break out a great substitute - Moon Sand!  I haven't let Mr. A play with it before because he's still so little and rambunctious I knew it would end up all over my house.  However, I knew he was getting to the point that he'd really feel the loss if he couldn't go play in the sandbox with his trucks and the moon sand would be a great distraction.  You can see he made himself right at home and found a truck just the right size for the Moon Sand Box.  (Miss M also had fun molding stars and creatures!)

Just because the weather stinks we shouldn't have to quit filling dump trucks with sand!

The sandbox is a mud box.

We're supposed to play in our sandbox today, but we've had rainy weather the last few days so our sandbox is more like a mud box and I'm not sure if I'm up having to cold, muddy kids just so I can say we stuck to our plan.  Plus, we did such a great job knocking out our To Do list yesterday, we didn't get around to playing with the puzzles.  I think that means today is the perfect day to put together puzzle after puzzle.  Then, since we skipped our FUN plans on Wednesday, I will encourage the kids to play with their various dolls, horses, etc... so I can get a feel for what they're still interested in playing with and what they're ready to move on from.  Phew!  That's a lot of FUN!  Happy Friday All!
