Finally, a swing set!

We have been promising to buy a swing set for the kids for at least 2 years. We finally did it today! Yeah!

Since we live in an uppity neighborhood, we had to get permission from the association to put it up. On the form, it asked how long til completion. My answer? "No idea!"

Since I love staining so much (NOT) I am going to stain it before we put it up. I figure that will be easier than after it's assembled. That will take me a few weeks. Then sorting all the pieces and pre-drilling will take some time. Then we have to find a Saturday that we have nothing planned. So maybe by NEXT Christmas. Daddy is still convinced that we should just keep going to the park. Hopefully after it's done, he'll change his mind. (Definitely not in the middle of the process; I've heard they are a bear to put up).

I'll keep you posted and post some pictures once we get started. Pray for us! With something like this, we are going to need it!

By the way, when we were trying to figure out where to store all the stuff, Daddy suggested inside. That way they can enjoy it even before it gets up. Sure, why not? (JK; it's in the garage)

I too will pray for your hubby as he struggles with the swing set. I know him! Maybe you should get some of your friends to help him.

Laundry: I think I might have to come back out to your house & fold your laundry. You know I love doing that.
