Saturday

Derick spent all day yesterday making this:

Thanks, Babe! 

I am so excited! We are staying with Derick's parents right now in Prescott while we are in limbo, and I wanted some outdoor things for Lincoln to do so badly. The sandbox turned out great. And between Easter gifts from the Easter Bunny and Grammy and Papa, Lincoln already had plenty of sand toys to put in it.

I think that we are just going to add a couple of boards to the corners of the sand box to make some seats, but for now, sitting right in the sand works just great!

Here is Lincoln sitting on the porch swing, eating grapes, and watching Daddy and Papa make the sand box. This picture makes him look so much older.

At another time during the day, we needed to go inside but Lincoln didn't want to. So for a few minutes, we played a game through the screen door and made silly faces at each other. I was inside and Lincoln was outside. These pictures made me laugh out loud.

On Friday and Saturday, we also went to a bunch of yard sales. I am pretty pleased with what we found.

1. An animal farm toy for Lincoln. $1.

2. A picture frame. $1.

3. Chairs. $6. {The plan is to reupholster them at some point. I won't be using them yet, but I couldn't pass up $6 chairs! Oh, and these look like they could be used for dining or a sitting room, so I am happy with the versatility. We will see someday what they end up being used for.}

4. A rotary cutter for fabric/quilting. It was brand-new in the package with a price of $16.99. We got it for 25 cents.

I love yard sales.
