SO beautiful outside!

We invited a friend to come over and play in the sandbox today. I read trying to finish the last 20 pages of the new book by one of my favorite authors (Gilliam Bradshaw) to see if they got the pirates and the boy got the girl - and I look over (now remember that my mantra has been 'sand stays in the sandbox....)

If you can't see - the kiddos have loaded the back of the car with sand and rocks. To give it more traction? As the luggage for a trip? Also, the girls LOVE to 'cook' with the sand. I have been offer sand-birthday cake, sand-cococa, sand-candy and sand-pizza - all just today! Anyway, I have come to the conclusion that we will have a well-ariated/sanded lawn and we'll just have to fork out $20 for more sand this spring. Oh well.
Also- in the midst of the spring-fever (just humor me, I realize we live in Utah and it WILL snow again- this 58 degree weather just starts the spring allergies AND cleanings) I rearranged the crafty room ...


It looks TONS bigger. There is much more space to play and lay stuff out, etc. The girls LOVE to 'sew' on my machine - I hope it can get it to work again. And they LOVE the thread - I hope I put my thread-holder up high enough - I told them they can have sewing lessons when they are older. Tomorrow is Thursday (our weekend begins) and we have friends coming over for dinner - yah!
