Sand for a clam shell

Clam shell thingie... that sounds like something I'd say too I'd say its a pretty common request at landscaping places.

We've got a clam shell too, but it will be making way later this year for an exciting cubby house development in the back yard that we're drawing up plans for.

LOL I love the new measurement scale. So I wonder if I need sand for my landscaping should I order 10 clamshells worth.

Kids have been given the lecture a couple of times about the importance of keeping it covered.

We're off to get sand next weekend, so thanks, I'm going armed with the "one clam shell" measurement

We just got rid of our sand . Lola thought that bringing it inside was the right thing to do and I couldnt stand it any more . However I will probably get some more sand in the next week or so I think

I had a giggle too,

Haha, that's so funny. When I went to buy sand for ours the guy knew exactly how much it needed too.

Although I think we must be stingy (in fact, I know I am) because we bought four bags of sand and only used 2 ... recently emptied it out because it got manky water in it and have just used another the other 2.

My DS just likes putting the sand in the other side of the shell ... or elsewhere in the backyard anyway!
