Evie loves to "help" me with her little brother. I think they have the same amount of hair.
This was actually much funnier to watch. She was carefully grooming herself with the sponge.
I made us an urban sandbox out of paver sand and a plastic storage tub to keep on our back porch. I think my kids have played with it every day since (except Sundays when they aren't allowed). Some days it's all day. A dollar store bag of seashells, some formula scoops and a plastic dump truck and they are in heaven. Well worth it for any of you that don't have space or tolerance for a permanent cat box in your yard. This one has a lid, cost less than $10, and can disappear when you are done with it.
You will be seeing these fabulous pinatas again when I post Ryan's Super Hero Birthday Party in a couple of weeks. I found it interesting that my daughter could last for the whole paper mache episode and my son could not, but I think they turned out rather fab. We'll see how many smacks they can take.
Family Fun had a project where you made sand dough for a keepable castle, but at the time I couldn't find sand, and I didn't really want them hanging around my house, so we made this instead. Daddy actually helped with this one (we will put him in as a co-designer) but opted out of the photo shoot.You will notice the stone-like grooved design on the sides... We also had to mould the clay around a plastic storage container to get it to stand up, but still a lot of fun.
