happy early birthday...





By the time the third child rolls around it seems that toys are everywhere and get old quickly. This year for Noah's 3rd birthday I begged Cody to make a sandbox- (I know- what was I thinking? I just swept the kitchen for the third time today) But if you've ever felt a little out of your element, you can probably relate to my kids. Noah asks all the time if we can go to the beach- referring to the lake at Blackfoot- how sad huh? My girls know what the real beach is and miss it terribly. So watching the three of them play in this box of sand made me wonder what we're doing in Idaho!? A huge thanks to Shawn for use of his truck and hooking us up with the sand!
The kids have played in since school let out today. It surely is the little things in life that bring joy and messes for that matter. And because this cutie would ingest the sand- here's the obligatory picture. Doing what she does best these days- sitting!

We've been wanting to build a sandbox too! How fun! Your kids will have hours of fun there this summer. We need to get together again soon! Love those skirts too.
