Yesterday we walked to UST, where David played in a planter that he has sort of adopted to use as a ________.  Matt and I were ______ and talking so we didn’t notice he dug up half the thing in like, I don’t know, 3 seconds.

It hasn’t had plants in it since at least ______, and last time I sort of asked someone if we could play there (we asked a student at the student center; not too official, but nobody else was around at 7p on a random Tuesday, okay?), and she said sure, so I guess it’s okay, but, still.  See the pic?  That’s some serious earth-moving for a little kid and a garden trowel.  We put all the dirt/sand back when we got ready to leave, of course.

We’ll have to reconsider our habit of keeping the stroller stocked with garden tools.
