Sandbox

The highlight of the week was Munga building the kids a sandbox. The materials were bought on Monday and thank goodness it was completely assembled the next day. We would have worked through the night just to stop Samuel from repeatedly saying every 30 seconds...put the sand in the sandbox! No joke about the time span there. If ever there was a persistent child, it would be Samuel. Emma kept asking for the beach and may have been slightly disappointed that there was no water to accompany the sand. Luca was pretty hesitant about putting his feet in the sand...come to think of it the last time he was at the beach was when he was 3 months old. He quickly joined in the fun and likes to disperse the sand across the yard. Thankfully the weather has been nice as well for them to enjoy some play time in beach attire.

Thank you Munga and Grandma!

Happy times with Grandma

So fun to see your pics. How fun that the kids have a sandbox now and that Samuel helped construct it. Sounds like they are having lots of fun with grandparents. I didn't know that pumpkins were considered an American food elsewhere. Have you found any squash? Hadassah is eating solids now and trying out all kinds of squash. Have a wonderful Sunday.

Yay for sandboxes!! Samuel, Emma and Luca look like they're having so much fun, I'm so glad you have one. So glad you all have been having such a great time, it looks like Jon's parents have been such a huge help and encouragement, I'm praying for strength and grace for all of you. I loved the sand feet picture, so precious.
