We don't really have a lot of lemons here, but what we do have is TON of rice! So, one day after lots of water was on the floor again and Cameron's clothes were wet because he needed to "wash" his cars, I decided we needed to move outside onto our balcony and make a sandbox. Sand is not a commodity that many people go out and buy and there is not a Home Depot around the corner, so I decided to use rice instead. The next day, I went and bought a big, flat rectangular tupperware bin and the cheapest 10 pound bag of rice I could find...not very hard to do :).....and VOILA! The kids have their very own "sandbox" as we call it and we ALL LOVE IT! For the most part the rice stays in it and one kid can sit in it one at a time. It is so much fun playing with them and watching Laura Cate pour and dig for the first time. I do find random pieces of rice throughout the apartment, but nothing a quick vacuum can't handle!
