Success!

"Success! Success! They've done it! They've done it!" Know that movie? No? Perhaps you are lucky. That is from the original Batman Movie with Adam West and all its campy glory.

I have a movie quote for almost anything.
We finally finished the sunken sandbox. I am totally in love and the boys hopped in immediately and have been there ever since. Bliss all around.

It started awhile back. We had the idea, actually I think Matt's mom suggested it, to have a large sandbox sunk into the ground. To do it, we would use a kiddie pool. We bought the pool last summer.


We started digging the hole in April.
The boys were most helpful.


Then we had rain. And then we had rain. And then, well, you get the idea. Between rain and other things in life, not much was happening.
Poor sad little sandbox.

But this weekend we finally got 'er done!
Even our neighbor hopped in for the fun right away. :)


We still have a long way to go for the overall yard,
but this is worth hours of entertainment. 
Woo Hoo!


(In case you want to know, we added 400 lbs. of play sand and are just short of halfway full. We are probably going to add 200 lbs. more. We don't want more than half full because we are trying to keep most of the sand in the box.)
