A New Sand Box

This weekend was tons of fun! Thursday night Dave finalized his plans for Logan's Birthday sandbox, and Friday we purchased the wood and supplies to make it. Saturday Dave spent the majority of the day creating wood magic, and by Saturday night, this was going on in the back yard:

Sunday, Logan woke up demanding the sand box, but was appeased with church (he just LOVES Nursery). We were able to stretch out the need for the sand box until late in the afternoon when Dave's family dinner. Grandpa Bill, Dave and Uncle Blaine spent hours building sand castles for Logan, Lindsay, and McKay to destroy. 

Logan ended up with sand everywhere! It took three shampoos to get all the sand out of his hair. Usually he doesn't end up with a bucket full of sand dumped over his head, so it's not so much work to clean him up... but MAN! He had sand everywhere.

Monday we had a fun FHE. We taught Logan to play tidily winks. He loves flipping the little chips all over the room (with no regard to color or score). He just cheers for himself when he flips the chips. We got ice cream cones for our treat and taught Logan to eat them without a spoon (this has been a big deal for our neat and tidy boy). Logan insisted on playing in the sand box again, so we did that for a little while before bed time.

Over all it was a great weekend, and I know Logan has and will love his birthday gift. Hopefully he will enjoy it for a few years. His favorite activity this summer has been to go to the school across the street and dig in the rocks, so hopefully this will last.
