After breffy, they built a beach. With real sand. And real water. In the living room. On the carpet. It started out as an accident (as usual). Less than five minutes after discovering the hole in the kettle ball, I heard hysterical laughter and the sound of running water. That combination of sounds inevitably ends in hours of clean-up, usually involving expensive rented equipment. Thankfully, this time I intercepted the bucket before it made it onto the big sand pile. Unlike the time when we had an actual river and waterfall in the house.
The kids were sent out to get their special vacuum to clean up the sand.
This led (as usual) to a secondary project for them. They are now building a cannon with components from the vacuum, a pink wire mannequin, a crossbow, and several foam (Thank God) arrows. Somehow the dog is part of the plan, too, but I don't think I want to know in what capacity.

Is it too early in the morning to add a little limoncello to my tea?
