With the weather so mild this winter, we've had plenty of opportunity to go outside and "play." The only problem is that in our yard there's just nothing to play with. The boys have resorted to nearly obsessive-compulsive behavior by digging the mulch out of the gardens every time we are outside, as if that is what they are somehow wired to do. Despite my "no-noing" and persisitent pushes to do otherwise, they continue to demolish the already bewildered garden beds, confused by the warmth of winter. So my driveway and walkway are covered in dirt and mulch, and my flower beds are naked, brown and sad.
Ideas for summer activities that don't require driving to a park or elsewhere for fun? We may try to put in a sandbox, if Nate can make one. Since the boys love to dig so much, might as well give them something to dig in. We'd love some kind of outdoor play set, but they just aren't affordable. We've got absolutely nothing for them to enjoy in the yard, and such a large back yard to host- it's just sad. Only real problem we run into on a consistent basis is dog poo; not just any poo- HOSS sized. You know what I mean.
Little boys need outdoor toys... welcoming input!
