Well... Grammy and Papa decided it was time for Charlie to have a sandbox. As you can see, Charlie still has a little bit of a sand aversion... he'll play using the tools only, and insists on washing his hands as soon as a tiny grain even gets underneath his nails. Avery, on the other hand, taking after her mother, is not as reluctant to make a fantastic mess. One side of the pool (see above) is supposed to be for sand, and the other for water and playing with boats, etc... It stayed nice and neat until Avery woke up from her nap, at which time she proceeded to mix the two sides together making a muddy hot mess. At that point Charlie didn't want to play anymore, and Avery was content to have the sandbox to herself for approximately the next two hours.
We had so much fun just lounging around in the yard, bbq-ing, and enjoying the sunshine. A warning: if you have a newborn in the summer, you can't put them outside, even in the shade!!! Learned that the hard way... Sadie managed a little sunburn on her face from the hour she was outside sitting in her chair in the shade. I felt terrible. She has since recovered and looks great.
Also we celebrated Papa's birthday on Sunday. Happy Birthday Papa!
