Well, we did it. We bit the bullet and bought a fence! The price tag stinks, but the finished product is heavenly! It's so nice to be able to send Sam out in the yard to play and not have to worry or be out there with him constantly. So along with the fence we thought why not throw in a sandbox. He has had a small sandbox for a couple of years, but has outgrown that one. He had enjoyed it so much. They are awful for the mess, but the smile on his face is worth every grain of sand that I find on my floor, and bathtub and deck, etc., etc., etc.
On the first day, his friend buried one of his dinosaurs and he couldn't find it before dark. It was pretty traumatic to go to bed knowing that one of his buddies was going to have to spend a cold night alone. We did, however, find it the very next morning, and since then it's been okay to bury them. It's been a great addition to the yard, (even though I'll be cursing it constantly), every kid needs a sandbox growing up!

Austin says that sand box looks like a lot of fun. :)
ok, THAT bring back all sorts of memories...some of which involve YOU! :-)
I agree- every kid needs a sandbox. We made one for Luke a few months ago and he will play in there for hours at a time. I've gotten used to the sand on my kitchen floor :) The sandbox and fence are my two favorite additions to our yard!
