A nice weathered weekend...finally!

YES...I finally get to spend some time outside!

I'm a happy boy!

My new sandbox/water set that my mama & papa got me for my Birthday!

Well, the sand lasted in the sandbox for a LITTLE while...but Max said this cooler full of sand was just his size! I hear a "you know you're a redneck" joke coming on...


Thankfully a nice MN weathered weekend! We were about to give up!

We had a nice laid back weekend. Yesterday we went and got Max's birthday presents. Brad wanted to get him a motorized car (it goes a whole 2mph!) and naturally the noise it makes when it moves scares Max right now. We're working on it. But, the gift he really liked was his water/sand playset. I would have been really happy w/ just water...but Papa has been insisting that EVERY boy needs a sandbox.

And as I suspected...sand was EVERYWHERE within about a 1/2 hour of pouring it into the playset. He had a blast moving it from the toy to our patio furniture. Oh, and not just 1 piece...all of them. And the deck. And the benches. And everything he could reach basically. Nice. So, now Brad thinks he needs one he can sit it...a bigger one. Wha??! So, he's on a mission to find a nice one big enough to sit in and then he'll make the one we just purchased just a water toy. Ahhh the fun we are going to have this summer!

Today we let Papa sleep in & nap as much as he wanted to for Father's Day...geez, that man can sleep! :) And we went and visited Grandpa Bellows, Grandma, and M(amy). We missed Brad's dad...it'll be a year on the 21st since we lost him...it's crazy that a whole year has gone by. I know he's watching over us and I can just hear his funny commentaries!

Happy Papa's day to all of you Papa's out there....
