Sandboxes and swimming pools

We (and by 'we' I mean Andy and his helpers- our next door neighbor, Tyler, Andy's dad and brother) finished the sandbox for peanut this week.  It was a labor of love and my pleas for purple sand were veto'd.  (Kidding) I was fine with not taking out a second mortgage to fund our sandbox project.  And who are we kidding, peanut loves SAND! No matter what color it is.  And for the record purple sand is, like, totally expensive. :)

We wanted to have everyone over to test out the new sandbox and swim! It was a great day weather-wise and the kids had a great time. Thanks to all for helping us complete this latest phase on peanut's play set!

Now we just have to lay grass seed, plant some hostas around the shed and I think we're good for 2012! Oh yeah, and pay the bill.

Tada! The finished product:

Hope everyone enjoyed this beautiful summer day!
