New Swingset

About 9 months before we moved out of our old house we purchased a very nice, very big wooden swing set and built it in our backyard. It was a great deal of work and we were very proud of ourselves after completing such a large project. Unfortunately we just didn't like that house or its location so we moved. The swingset was huge and there was no way we could move it, nor did we have the space in our new back (side) yard. The boys have been begging for a new swingset ever since we moved in, but we were dragging our feet. Anyway, we finally gave in and got a smaller one than the previous set, but it still needs putting together. We have been working all week on this "4 hour" project and are nearly finished. The kids are so excited!! All we have left to do is all the bar that holds the swings. The fort part of the set is complete. Here are some pictures of the progress. Hopefully our labor will pay off this weekend and we will be done!!

We had a near miss visit to the ER tonight. Susie called me as I was about to leave work and said "stay there I am on my way!" C decided to throw sand at F using the play shovel and ended up hitting F in the head, cutting him right above his left eye. Susie wasn't sure if it would need stitches or not, so she wanted to bring him down for me to look at him. Thankfully it looks okay and we were all able to turn around and head home. C can be such a sweet kid one moment and a real handful the next. What a challenge!!
