Best Daddy

Cooper has the best Daddy.
 Hands down.
Andrew loves to build stuff. Especially things for Cooper. (He can't wait til Coop's old enough to help).

He worked on this sandbox project for days weeks (he told me it would take 2 days.  well...that was 2 weeks ago and we finally got the last of the extra sand out of our driveway).

He mapped out a plan.

Dug up some grass.


Slaved in the hot sun.


With a little help


To make it perfect.

Father-son LOVE.

And I couldn't resist putting these cute dirty legs on here:


Well, I believe Cooper definitely has the biggest (11'x11') and probably one of the best sandboxes around.

Here it is:  work in progress:

  He thought Cooper needed a little step so he could get in and out.

 And a bench all the way around...so he could take a break


Oh, and did I mention, it is the the most expensive sandbox ever build for a 15 month old?? Well, let's see...when you add up the cost to fix 2 irrigation lines that were hit and a windshield that was busted in the process of getting wood from Lowe's...it got pretty expensive. And the sand was free!
But Cooper LOVES it.
And that makes it worth it, right?
 
 
He also loved the sand pile in our driveway which is now gone...amen...I'm OCD and that thing was driving me crazy!
 But he enjoyed it while it was there:

Every morning is started in the sandbox.

And almost every evening ends in the sandbox.

He wrote Cooper a message after he got it finished one night, so when he woke up and went out the next morning he could read it. (I think Andrew was hoping Coop was learning to read in his sleep).

I thought it was sweet!
(says:  Daddy loves you Cooper).
