Alternatively, buy Kinetic Sand! Keeping a sandy mess contained outside in a sandbox is in the past!
No matter how big the containment tote is, it's going to end up in the floor, in your socks, under the sofa, behind the dresser, etc (you know, all the fun places.)
It doesn't matter how often I sweep, run Roomba, and throw it away, more makes it's way into the home.

...so yeah, as his parent, your brother's the one to blame for his kid's behavior. That wasn't divine intervention, so blame has to go somewhere. Good to see he was willing to own up. Right? Right??
I have zero tolerance for misbehaving kids. And I always look at the parents. My sister's right into the "he's just a kid" camp, but in her mind that's where things stop and nothing can be done about that...
Her kid's getting older, and I'm having the last laugh.

Grandchildren are the reward for raising your children right.

Thats why grandparenting is great;
Wind them up on a sugar buzz with their new drum set that you got them for Xmas and send them home.
I'm not sure how many cookies it makes to be happy, but so far it's not 27.

Reminds me of a sign in the waiting room of my vet's office:
"Unattended children will be given a double espresso, a Great Dane puppy, and sent home."

As I say to everyone who has that attitude. If only your parents had felt the same way!
If you can't laugh at yourself - ask me and I will do it for you.

🎄 Tree up, ✨ decorations up, 🎇 wreath on door.
Not too much help from the cat this time, but it still takes far too long ... at least I remember to wind lights and bead strings up when I take 'em down or it's just a scissors job and buy the damn things again!
And now... three weeks of baubles under foot as the cat plays with them, tinsel getting into everything, and far too much food and sweeties!
Christmas has officially reached us.
And I'm feeling about as festive as a dead rat.
How about you? Are you in the "Christmas mood" yet? 🎅

Our tree went up at the beginning of December. The decorations have steadily migrated to the top front quadrant of the tree to try to keep them away from one of the cats.
It hasn't worked[^].
My Christmas YouTube playlist is on full-blast today, since it's my last working day until 5th January. 🎅🎄🍻

Fortunately, mine was out while I put it up - normally he hides inside it and attacks me when I try to attach baubles ...

I celebrate it solely for the nephew. Otherwise it's just therapy for retail chains.

Totally agree.

I can understand your mood after the year you've had.
To brighten your mood.
We have a cat.
We have a tree.
We have lametta (like a shredded tinsel) on said tree.
Said cat like lametta.
We call the cat tinkle butt at xmas because he likes to eat lametta.
Then we have to chase the cat around the house because it usually doesn't always come all the way out by itself.

I have young children, so this time of year is fun for me. The train I set up around the tree has certainly seen better years though. I've given up on keeping the track together and the train upright.

My wife and I haven't finished decorating yet - this weekend. We don't use tinsel because our cat would eat the stuff.
Tinsel is nothing more than confetti and should be banned.

... and I just realized by checking my email this morning that I apparently ordered five copies of Windows 10 and three XBoxes during the night.
