Sandboxing

Last weekend proved to be a very exciting one at the O-Town Grimmius household. Not only did Miles test out his new undies, but he also got a SANDBOX!!! Grandpa Dave and daddy built it for him while Grandma Doreen played with him. I was around too, but my presence wasn't really needed by anyone (except for the occasional trip with Miles to the potty, which did make me feel important in short spurts).

Here are the big boys prepping the sandbox area -

While they did that, Miles and Grandma had a funny conversation about strawberries.

Somewhere in there a certain little boy lost his shorts. But he found a bunch of flags, so it was all good.

When it was time to nail the boards down, everyone (except me) pitched in to help.

Sand was dumped into the new box one wheelbarrow-load at a time...

And then it started raining! Fortunately the sun came out on (appropriately) Sunday, so that's where we spent most of the day.

No shoes in the sandbox, please.

Super fun!!

And super exhausting.

p.s. Sleeping with a blanket on your head can leave you very, very sweaty. And it sort of makes your mommy and daddy worry a little bit.
