my parents have been talking about buildinga sandbox since the summer of 2007 when we went to visit eeli in finland..... like many "simple" projects around our house that involve design decisions, the time line gets stretched in order to make the best decisions ...last week on our drive home from ma-tu's house, i decided to tell my mom that i want papa to build me a playground in the back yard. i told her that i want a climbing-thin' and a slide and a sandbox.
well, it seems my approach is working, as they opted for this "temporary" sandbox (made from a $10 swimming pool and a few bags of $2.50 play-sand) it was really quick and easy to 'build'-- the best part is that if i spill sand onto the patio, it actually helps fill the gaps in between the bricks! score.
the day that we "built" it, eeli and i played in it for at least 4 hours ... 3+ in the afternoon and another after dinner. score! (did i already say that?)
