Dear Holly: Playing in the Portable Sandbox I Made You

3 years, 11 months.

Dear Holly,

Last Saturday morning we were able to sneak out to Home Depot (that was before the Governor issued the “Stay at Home” order) to pick up some new plants for the yard, as well as some activities to get you and your brother busy outside since the sun had finally came out.

The nice lady at Home Depot gave you and your brother free kits to build since their normal build-a-project plans got cancelled. Your brother was kind to help you build yours.

I bought a 50 pound bag of sand and a tray bucket, so that you and your brother can have a little portable sandbox to easy take in and out of the garage into the driveway.

You and your brother had so much fun outside!

Love,

Daddy

Dear Jack: Mother’s Day 2015/Adirondack Chairs

4 years, 5 months.

Dear Jack: Mother's Day 2015

Dear Jack,

This year for Mother’s Day, Mommy decided she wanted a new ceramic cup for her coffee she makes each morning, some Adirondack chairs for our porch, and quality time as a family.

So that’s exactly what we made happen this weekend.

We started off with your next-to-the-last soccer game of the season…

Then we had a fun lunch at Whole Foods, where they were having a special promotion in which 100% of the proceeds went to benefit the victims of Nepal; since their recent earthquake.

Mommy and I really enjoyed our vegan hot dogs the workers grilled for us!

After your nap back at the house, you and I practiced our shooting into the lot across their street where they are building one of the last houses of our immediate neighborhood.

Then, we all just hung out on the front porch. Mommy and I enjoyed the new Adirondack chairs, while you were perfectly content to play in your newly purchased (with your birthday money from last November) sand box.

So it sounds like Mommy got just what she wanted for Mother’s Day this year.

Not to mention, you and I made this little video for her…

 

Love,

Daddy
