Fun In The (almost) Sun

Ava gets bored very easily and is difficult to entertain all day long. She loves being outside but we've had rainy, gloomy weather for the last two weeks that she's been cooped up inside. But a few days ago we had a little break in the clouds that lasted long enough for Ava to play in the sandbox Grammy made for her. Marilyn had this old plastic kids pool that had some holes in it, so we turned it into a sandbox. Ava really likes it and once the weather gets nice I hope she'll spend even more time in it. Maybe, just maybe, it will give me a few moments break each day!

Our kittens are still around and getting bigger and bigger. Ava loves playing with them and for some reason always wants to sit in their bed with them. (Pretty gross really. That bed is disgusting. But I let her do it anyway.) She also likes to pick them up and carry them around which they, and their mom, don't really like. (Just as long as she doesn't throw it against a tree, right Sally?)

And for some reason I am always the one behind the camera. I don't have any pictures of Ava and I so I made Chris take this one the other day. We only have three weeks left of just the two of us, and I wanted to capture it on camera. Other than the chin, you'd never know she was mine. She is all Shideler!
