New Sandbox

This past week Eric did a very "Dad" thing; he built the kids a sandbox.  All last week I put the kids to bed and Eric would work on the sandbox.  He took out our camping light and built the sandbox from scratch.  He built it at night because he really wanted to surprise the kids with the sandbox.  The sand was delivered on Saturday so when we got home from the gym the sand had been delivered and so we took the kids down to the sandbox.  They were so excited and we spent a lot of the weekend watching them play in the sandbox.  Here are some pictures from the weekend:  







We spent most of Sunday in the back yard playing in the yard and in the sandbox.  Cate and Ashton love their chairs and have a game where they move them around and chase each other around. 


Eric had an extra piece of wood and he set it up on the porch so Cate could push her stroller up and down.

Eric mowed the lawn and the kids sat on the porch and watched.  After he was done Ashton took his jeep and pretended to mow the lawn.

We also went to the park, and Cate and Ashton had a great time pushing Eric around.

The weather was fantastic this last weekend and we had a wonderful time with the kids.  

Eric is such a fantastic Dad.  The kids are so lucky to have such a wonderful Dad.  The sandbox is amazing and I am so impressed with how hard Eric worked on it.
