Open for Business

I thought I'd be super-blogger today and post some photos that were taken mere hours ago. It's so warm today that after weeks of begging from Jonas, we decided to open the sandbox. It has been covered w/ plywood and a tarp since last October and Jonas has been asking at least once a week if we can open the sandbox. So today was finally the day. Of course now he's really wanting to have his little pool out and filled up so he can go swimming, too. I'm sure it will be a few more months, at least, until that happens. Until then, he'll have to be happy with digging in the sand.

Autumn is a great time for the sandbox. Not too warm and, usually, not too cool. Jonas is really into driving his trucks on paths in the sand. I was World's Best Mom, at least for the rest of the afternoon, when I used the hoe to make a path around the entire perimeter of the sandbox, which included four giant hills. (Giant is Jonas' description. The hills were approx. 4 inches high. Apparently that is quite impressive by 3-year-old standards.) Sandbox time is great for wearing him out and guaranteeing a long nap.
