Playhouse!

Tyler built a little "play world" in the backyard for the kids. Complete with a water-feature sandbox, a swingset, and a playhouse mounted on the sandbox. It has helped me out a ton since the kids are home for the summer. The playhouse mounted to the sandbox has now given us back our back patio... here we come outside dinners! Glad I have such a handy man!

We do most of our art projects outside now, makes an easy clean up and keeps the house quiet while bitty naps.

And, bitty is now mobile. She does what I like to call the "Fat girl army crawl". It's not pretty, but she gets around. So, if I need to get something done. I put her in front of the washing machine and dryer. She watches the clothes go around and around and yells at them. But, at least she is stationary for a moment so I can actually accomplish something! I am going to put this in my book about mothering. Great way to keep a baby still!
