This was the side yard for the better part of four years. It’s too bad, too, because the sandbox play area we turned it into would have been perfect for the big kids when they were toddlers, during which time I was also doing daycare. And now that we are outgrowing sandboxes altogether, it’ll be neat to watch this space transform once again.
Before my neighbor and his bother came in with a chainsaw…
After a little TLC removing tree roots and shrubs, laying layers of plastic to prevent weeks (hardly worked, lol), laying brick and hauling in pea rocks and stones, and building a sandbox and loading it up with fresh sand! It was a project for all the kids, but especially for Annie’s birthday, the girl who LOVES sand and was driving me crazy playing with Kinetic sand in the house and tracking it everywhere.
