I built most of this ring of stones for
a sandbox in the spring and Harry's been very patient about seeing it filled
with sand. Although, lately, he's started to asked seemingly innocent questions
like "why did we build this sandbox?" and "are we going to
put sand in it?" Finally, today was the day. Grandpa
has been working on this one-time rusted old bottomless trailer for about
a month, fixing, painting, replacing wheels and hubs, and more. Today he and
grandma brought it over and, on the spur of the moment, we took it and the
boys to a nearby gravel yard for sand. We keep asking the boys to stand clear
while we were dumping, and they did a pretty good job. But, it got increasingly
more difficult to wait.
