Sandbox

At first she kept trying to reach all the toys from outside the box. She freaked out a little when I stuck her in there. 


Then she warmed up to it...






apparently it was nap time in the sandbox


My only wish now is that the hose was on this side of the house....this girl got sand on every inch of her body- but it was totally worth it!

bubbles, water, gardening, and more!

I take advantage of anytime that Elsa is having fun entertaining herself. Today I finished the vegetable garden because she was busy covering herself in bubbles! (we just have to get sand and hopefully she will keep busy in her new sandbox)






She then decided she wanted to help me dig in the dirt and we were both covered. I ended up just hosing her down outside with the hose.....


She especially like to drink from the hose!


She got a real bath too and I couldn't believe how long her hair is when it's wet...


This is my first time trying a vegetable garden.

I really don't know what I am doing, so I started small this year. I am keeping my fingers crossed that...
  1. I don't kill everything
  2. We actually get some tomatoes, peppers, green beans, and herbs out of them this summer.
  3. I can keep these out of it (crossing fingers the liquid fence does the job)

a couple random videos

Found these and thought I'd share them since I haven't posted a video in a long while.

Our Daily Visitor

We have a bunny(bunnies) that pay a visit to our backyard almost daily. E loves watching chasing them!


 We started by just watching out the window but that didn't last long.

 we had to go outside and check the bunny out.


 determined to get that bunny!

This bunny stayed for longer than I thought. I am always surprised how they run around and let E come after them before they really take off. 

"Where aaaarrrrrre you???"

When it Rains....

Pittsburgh is back to it's rainy weather again but we sure did enjoy the couple of days of sunshine that we had. So while Elsa is dying to spend the days outside (not just outside between storms), we are trying to find lots of ways to stay busy.




Made some homemade play dough for E- I can't believe she didn't try eating it.




 Our fridge is stainless steel so you can have magnets on it but luckily the front door does the trick.


 She eventually just liked to push all the letters making them fly off the door.



Painting! Most of ended up on her, but that's pretty expected!






  She got a little crossed eye trying to check out the paint brush!


Now to think of some more fun things to do while it rains for the next week!
