sandbox

Bryce digging up the roots of the huge wild lilac tree we removed to put in the sandbox ... i say we but i just loaded up limbs into the truck!

Paxton the BIG helper ... this is taking a LONG, LONG time! he is learning patience!

Paxton is so excited that his sandbox is FINALLY finished!

we spent Friday morning building Paxton a sandbox. he loves it! it really didn't take that long to build but Pax kept saying, "this is taking a LONG, LONG time!" his favorite part of the day was probably going to pick up the sand. he loved watching the front loader dump the sand into Bryce's truck. he has told me the story several times!

the finished sandbox.

this is my portion of the sandbox project. we decided to put a small brick patio around the sandbox since inevitably some sand will end up out of the sandbox. we thought this way the grass around the sandbox won't die. it took me most of Friday and Saturday to finish the patio but it is perfectly level!
