Movie Monday!

This video is truly only for the Jaeger Ray die-hard! If you actually watch the whole thing you definitely deserve a prize. It's the little accomplishments that get us going around here though.

Isn't that the sweetest face?
Besides being sick, we had a fantastic weekend!
(Thankfully, it's just me that's sick.)
Kids Workshop at Home Deep, visited a petting zoo, yummy samples at Costco, a trip to the park, sunny afternoons in the sandbox and riding around the front yard in our wagon.
Oh, and I got to take an awesome nap today - thanks Daddy!
Life couldn't get much better than this.

One very cool sandbox!

Dane LOVES to dig (duh, he's 2), but the only place we had for him to dig was underneath our rhodendrum in the front yard. It's a wee bit tight to be digging in that space, so Daddy decided to build him a sandbox.

After about a week & a half, a dozen or so trips to Home Deep, several coats of varnish, and meticulous planning, we have an awesome sandbox for Dane and his friends. The best part is that most of the sandbox is made from recycled wood from our deck railing we took down last summer! Here are a few photos of the process.

This is probably my new favorite photo of Dane & Daddy. So cute! I love how engrossed Dane looks.

Here's my measly contribution!

Leveling!

15 bags of sand + 3 bags of gravel = HOURS of entertainment
(or so we hope!)

The backhoe in action!

Movie Monday!

Our little law enforcer!

You have to sit through me singing not 1, but 2, rounds of our Good Morning song (a big thanks to Nannie for starting that tradition!), but it's worth it to hear Dane enforce our binky rule at the end. Plus, it's super cute to see how happy Jaeger is after he wakes up. Too bad he doesn't wake up that happy every day.

New sandbox!!
Now we can stop digging underneath the rhodendrum.

More about this absolutely fantastic sandbox later. :)

Rocketship

Disclaimer: This one is definitely PG13!

With that in mind, Dane is having way TOO MUCH FUN with his self-proclaimed "Rocketship!"

Movie Monday!

It was even cuter the first time Dane said this, but you get the idea nonetheless. What a sweetie! :)

And just the other morning as we were walking down the street, Dane said, "I have a nice Mommy!" Melt my heart!
