I desperately needed a few minutes to get some stuff done. I came up with this to occupy LD. A big tupperware container, some sand and rocks from a zen candle set i've had forever but haven't been able to use since LD stood up and a thrifted miniature tonka truck. He's been begging to go back outside and play with his trucks and excavator (excavator was like his 20th spoken worth lol - he loves them) but it's been too cold. Here was our compromise. It provided hours of play. He did good at keeping the sand in the pit. I told him if he didn't he wouldn't be able to play with it again because this kid loves a mess. He did good only getting a little outside. A quick vacuum and we had a happy mom and an extremely happy boy.

Try it!

Okay, i'm real busy today getting stuff listed on ebay, managing payments and sending stuff out but did take pictures of some of the finds and will do a proper post later explaining some of it but if you are impatient and want to see now, you can go over here - they are the ones after the bag of buttons.


Flickr isn't working right now....will update later.
