One of my favorite things to do is to cross things of lists. I'm sure most of you will agree with me. There is some kind of satisfaction in knowing that you presented a challenge to yourself, even if it's really small and insignificant, and fulfilled it.
One of the things I really wanted for a long long time was to build a sandbox. For the kids, of course, but also for myself (it's fun!). A large enough sandbox that will hold all three kids (and me!), with a closed water container next to it.
Since we moved back to Israel more than three years ago, I've been fantasizing on a sandbox like that, and finally it is ready!
The Man took a trip to the hardware store and came back with four pieces of wood. The Girl and I sanded together, then The Man painted them all. We screwed the pieces of wood together and using a staple gun stapled a thick plastic sheet to the bottom.
12 bags of sand later...
We filled water in what used to be the sandbox (and now looks lame and plasticky).
Kids are happy. Mommy is high...
Have a great summer and Happy 4th of July to my American readers!
