Weather bad? Buy a sandbox!

yes, can you believe on this cold and rainy day we actually went out and bought bean a sandbox? it is her birthday present. "what, what!" you say, "her birthday isn't until july!" this is true. HOWEVER, she has taken to digging in the yard, gardens, etc, with a stick or rock or even her fingers. so to save the grass and impending flowers we delivered her sandbox early so she can dig properly- you know, in the sand with a shovel. so picture her father and i in the back yard. it is raining and VERY cold. we place the sandbox, fill it with sand, then put two bags of mulch around the outside of it. my hands are completely numb as i am raking the mulch out. WHY are we doing this?!? (why don't i have on a warmer coat?!?) it isn't like she can come out and play in it! why on earth didn't we leave it in the garage until the weather broke?? what kind of morons are we?? ah yes, we are the kind that loves their child so intensely that they have lost all sense of reason! or some such nonsense! someone needs to give us a good swift kick in the behind or something- you know, knock some sense into us for god's sake! ;)

in other news... i had two friends deliver happy, healthy baby boys this past wednesday just over an hour apart- unfortunately they are both too far away for us to go visit! boo! our congratulations and love go out the the sweet new babies anyways!! he he!
