We finally broke down and got a play set for our backyard. We had been putting it off because it takes up a pretty substantial amount of the yard. But, with me being home with the girls all day, it became evident that we needed something to do outside, stat! We got the kit from Menard's and then bought and cut the lumber ourselves. Ok, so I just held the paper and told Eric what sizes to cut..but he couldn't have done it without me!  It probably took 15 hours to get everything done. I was able to do a few things alone after the main set was up. The girls and I keep thinking of fun things we can add to it now..a no boys allowed flag, a flower box or two perhaps? We still need to add another swing or activity in the main swing set part…but without further ado, here's the new play set! drum roll please..
