Mr. Sandman

"K" is fascinated by rocks, dirt, mulch and sand.  This was what inspired us to create a mini porch sandbox, because, well - I don't know how much more the garden plants could handle being dug up!  So, "K" received some buckets and shovels for Easter gifts, which we thought would make perfect sand box accessories.

"K" prefers sprinkling sand on the bottom of the buckets.  He also enjoys just digging right in with his hands, instead of using the shovel.  Needless to say, the porch is often covered with sand by the time the night is done.  We sweep the deck clean, cover the box with a piece of plywood, and prepare for another day of sand adventures.  The good news is that Mr. Fixit has extra sand, as some of it slips between the deck and is lost below!
