Sandbox

With a 2 1/2 year old and a new baby in the house, we had planned to build some sort of play structure in our backyard this summer. That way Sylvia could be entertained outside while I am occupied with Erickson. But, since we're planning on moving sometime in the next year or so due to a buyout we decided not to do anything too elaborate. Dan's Granny sent some money as a gift for Sylvia when Erickson was born. So, Dan built a sandbox with Grandpa and Sylvia's help. We can always take it with us when we move if we'd like.

Sylvia enjoyed checking out the sandbox as it filled with sand. She hasn't played in the sand very much but she's catching on quickly.
"Thank you for the sandbox." Sylvia is looking forward to seeing Granny in May so she can say thank you in person.


Erickson and I stayed out of the way while they worked. It looks like he is excited about the sandbox too.

So fun! Yeah for sandboxes! Will you photo copy the plans if there are any for me so I can give to Phillip? I have been wanting one for David and looked all last summer at garage sales for plastic ones, but didn't find any! I am sure they will both love it! When do you need to be out buy? Are you looking for a new house now?
