Hello Swingset!!!

Okay, we've kept you in suspense for a few weeks now. The trampoline was taken away on clean-up day and the kids didn't seem to mind at all. A few days after its removal we had a swingset kit delivered. Here's how it all came about...

On Mother's Day we did some price shopping with the kids and informed them that we would be getting them a swingset, they were totally thrilled! It was even more exciting for them because we let them pick the one they wanted, even though both Ben and I wanted a different one. After the kit was delivered, we worked all weekend on construction but still had a lot to do. It was soo hard (for me) to stay inside and not work on constructing it for them during the week. With the unpredictable weather lately, it made completing the project more challenging than it should have been. It didn't help that I wasn't home one weekend and there are little kids running around all the time keeping us busy. We managed to get a few things done here and there along the way. For Serenity's recital, Ben's parents came to visit. Naturally, Grandpa Bruce couldn't keep his hands off the unfinished project and he and Ben completed the swingset in a few short hours.

The kids were elated! It's so fun to see them outdoors having a good time. :) Check it out.
