Built a sandbox for the kids and it was actually fun
Spent all day Saturday building a sandbox in the backyard. Nothing fancy, just some treated wood, landscape fabric, and sand but the kids have barely left it since. My 4yo has been out there for like 3 hours this morning already. Cost maybe 80 bucks and 6 hours of work but totally worth it for the peace and quiet plus they're actually outside instead of inside gaming. Highly recommend if you have the space.
This is the kind of stuff I'm looking forward to doing once we get past the newborn phase. How long did the build take you? Might be adding this to my project list.
