Salsa!

We have a very happy garden this year.

The 8-year-old boy helped me pick tomatoes today.

Then I started chopping (and crying over all those onions!).

Now we have salsa for a while.

Yum!

A Little Boy's Dream

When we moved into our old house, we had three little boys.

I built them a sandbox and they loved it!

When we moved to this house, I had five little boys.

Four years later, I finally built another sandbox for them.

This is the spot under the swingset where we wanted it to go.

And here it is!

The 13, 11, 8, and 4-year-old boys and their friends are putting it to good use.

They have built tunnels, raked it smooth, and discovered that paint brushes make great sand tools!

The Best Part

Wanna hear the best part of helping my sister remodel her kitchen?

Well, I'll tell ya...

The day after I finished the project, my 11-year-old asked if he could clean up my mess!

Um...yes!

He even took before and after pictures for you to see...

Thanks, Son!
