I have been wanting a sand box for Joshua for months now. However, we could never find exactly what I had envisioned and I know we live in Hawaii, but we couldn't find play sand anywhere! Well, this past week we finally found some sand for sale on base, and I asked Mike to build Joshua and Chase a "custom" sand box. I just couldn't see spending 50.00 on a flimsy plastic turtle box. (no offense to anyone who may have one). Well, Mike did an amazing job!!! He's so handy. I love being able to have him build whatever I ask him too. He was even more excited to do the job when I told him he could purchase some more tools to make the job easier (a circular saw, electric sander, and a few other things!) The boys absolutely LOVE it! Both of them have thrown fits at different times when it has been time for baths, dinner, etc. I'm glad we've finally found something to really keep them busy and away from the TV!!!! Go Dad!!!!! There was one mishap, as Mike was screwing in the final seat, the wood split and broke, so that seat will have to be replaced, but otherwise all went well! Mike even made a cover for it at my request. (We have lots of birds and cats in our neighborhood!) Hopefully the kids will be able to enjoy it for many years to come.

That is so fantastic!!! It looks great!
This is so fun! I love the pictures of chase with sand in his mouth :) haha! Way to go Mike!--we are so impressed!
Lovely "traditional" sand box - I love it! Chase looks so much like one of Lila's younger friends, i had to do a double take :)
Lol, yeah, i did think... but they live on a sandy island... grin. Not the same as having it at home, in the yard!
wow, I can't believe how big and cute your boys are! I love that those tourists were following him around :)
Wow! It looks great...well done Mike. Chrissy, you're a great mom to lobby for your kids to play in sand on a daily basis :) For me, sand is one of those things that I know I'm going to need to let my kids play in, but I'm not looking forward to the clean-up already :) Cudos!
That is so dang cool! Way to go Mike. Yeah for free entertainment. That's soo cool. Boston misses her sand box like crazy-it broke when we tried to move it. Yeah for less TV time. Miss you guys!
Hurray! The sandbox looks great, and I'm glad it's even got a lid:) Great excuse to buy new tools;) Does Chase eat much of the sand?
Way to go, Mike! It looks great!
