Daddy Time...

Jon has been home all week...so Elsie has gotten plenty of Daddy time in! Every time Jon goes outside Elsie follows right behind him...even if it is just out to get the mail. And every time Jon goes up town Elsie is always ready to tag along. Yesterday Jon and Elsie went outside to put the primer on Elsie's new sandbox...next weekend's project will be to paint it red and fill it with sand. Elsie cannot wait to dig and dig in the sandbox...I think every child needs a big sandbox with lots of sand to dig big deep holes...and a water hose to make plenty of mud!
While Jon painted Elsie sat on the patio and watched him...(and I used my 5 min that hour to sneak out to take some pictures!)

Can you tell that this child's Mama is not able to do much right now...just look at that wild and dirty hair...and the funky clothes she comes up with to wear! Jon is a normal Daddy who does not care at all what Elsie is wearing...one day he brought her to the store wearing rainbow stripe shorts (that were far to short!), thick ivory tights,and a purple and green stripe shirt with an orange and yellow stripe sweater on...oh and red sparkly shoes! Just for the record I never let her go out and about with out a matching outfit and hair brushed...why Daddy's don't find these simple things important I will never know! But I guess the main thing is that Elsie is happy...and she is!
