So I've been having issues with my kids dumping their plastic water dishes. Well I'm pretty sure I solved the problem!

I had a fish tank, and in my stroke of genius I decided to use the gravel from the tank (well washed mind you) to weigh down the water dishes!

So far its working well, no one has managed to dump them (yet). The water is deep enough over the rocks that I don't think it will be an issue with the snakes eating them.

I'm really hoping that this continues to work!
