Boys and their toys...

So while on a recent trip to Target, I decided that it was finally time for Evan to have some outdoor toys. The poor kid had been relegated to pushing his dilapidated plastic car around the back yard for entirely too long. When his idea of fun had been reduced to stacking old landscaping bricks, something HAD to be done.

So I purchased a relatively inexpensive sand and water table. Sand...water...what could be better? I eagerly put said table together. I drove to Home Depot, purchased play sand, filled the box. I dragged the hose out of the shed. Soaked myself as I filled the water portion of the table. And I flung the screen door open, anxious to let my boy experience the wonder that was the sand and water table!

To my surprise (not really), he made a token effort to look interested in the shiny new sand and water table. Then he started pushing the plastic car around the yard.

Sigh. When will I learn.

Here are some pictures, anyhoo...

P.S. On this same trip to Target, I decided it was time to get my other boy (Bryan) a toy as well. Yes...we are now the proud owners of the video game "Rock Band" for PS2, a purchase which I'm fairly sure puts us into a whole new category of loserdom. Here are a few pics of Evan enjoying that...
