What a nice surprise!  Our friends Barb and Dave came out to visit this weekend, and wish Tyler "Happy Birthday".  They brought him a bubble machine and a sandbox toy set.  We fired up the bubble machine in the kitchen, and discovered that it is an "outside" toy, because man did that thing make BUBBLES!!  I have to say, even I was entranced, completely surrounded by bubbles glittering in the sun.  I can't wait until spring, when we can take it outside run it again.

Tyler also loves his sandbox toy set.  Right now, since we don't have a sandbox yet, he plays with the containers in the tub, and the wagon makes a nice vehicle for all his stuffed friends to ride around in (when he isn't trying to cram his own butt in there...)
