Little Helper

These were from about a month ago and Ryan ended up with an unexpected chore.  We were outside and Lex decided she wanted to play in the sand box.  Now with the heat, the sand box had probably not been played in since last May or June.  Well, we opened it up and it was flooded with water and the sand was all black and rotten and smelled horrible.  I guess rain had gotten in there even with the lid on and sat for awhile.  Yuck!  So Ryan had the job of having to scoop out and throw away all the yucky sand and wash everything out....I am sure exactly what he had in mind that afternoon!  It helped he had a cute little helper:

 

 

 I never got the before picture but that was after Ryan scooped out most of the sand.
