Homemade Sand Table

We had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend:)

BK was off the WHOLE weekend....

which was a super suprise because we thought for sure he would have to work.

Nothing super eventful,

we caught up on some projects,

skyped with family,

spent an afternoon with friends,

and completed a man project!

Good little weekend.

Our wonderful friends the Greg and Emily

gifted us a turtle sand box,

they swore they didn't need.

It started our man project.

Here are:

BK and Greg loading it on the roof of Lexi

Next Step: Momma didn't want it on the ground if possible.

(to much sand on little bodies and in our house!)

So, a man project to make a homemade sand table....

We took a family trip to Menards (a mid west special!)

Got sand.

BK and the boys went to Lowes for

cinder blocks and wood for the base.

(10% military discount at Lowes!)

BK even got to use his one power tool (drill)

to secure the base.

BK pouring in the sand....

The boys proudly standing by their project

Russell testing it out...

Everyone was super happy...

especially momma

Q and R played for hours in the sand table....

awesome.
