Bradley added the sand to the patio the other day.  The sand is supposed to hold the bricks into place and discourage weeds from growing up through the cracks.

First he brushed it in with the broom, then he added water to help pack it down.  That is when the kids got excited.  Out came the pails, the shovels, the little army men and little animals that would get buried in the sand and water.

Gigi was into building sand castles while Jude was the hose god.  You had to ask NICELY for water.

I have to say, I haven’t seen my children this dirty or this happy in a long time.
