I made a sand box this week. OK, so really right now it is a mulch pit. The kids love to play in the garden dirt. Now that our garden is planted I didn’t what them to play in the garden. The other day I went outside and Siesa was sitting on a strawberry plant digging and I decided I needed to give them somewhere else to play so made the sand box and filled it with mulch (Free mulch that is). In June the city does a beach party and brings in 60 tons of sand and at the end of the party you can have the sand for free. I was planning to make a sandbox in June when I could get the sand for free but we couldn’t wait that long if I wanted our garden to grow. The kids love the mulch box and have already played for hours in it. The only thing is that it is dirty but I guess a little dirt doesn’t hurt, so my kids have just had lots of baths this week, like almost everyday.
