Backyard busyness

Earlier this summer, when Jeff built the sandbox, I predicted it would provide hours of fun for AJ. I was half right. It's provided hours of fun. But it's Sydney who loves sitting in the sand, grabbing it by the handful and then letting it sift through her fingers into a bucket.

I am very sad to see the days growing shorter as summer nears its end. We've had so much fun playing outside these last few months. If Sydney's in a cranky mood, nothing cheers her up faster than heading outdoors.
