If you build it, they will come!

We have spent the past 3 days building the kids a new swing set. We ordered it a few weeks ago and it came in just in time for Tim's vacation days for Spring Break! Tim took off Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We were hopeful we would get the swing set built in just 2 days. Of course it took us 3 1/2. We started off day 1 by doing inventory and making sure all the parts were there. Day 2 started the build! Tim and I worked on most if it ourselves. We were very proud of the teamwork we did together as it got very stressful at times. Who would have thought?! It also helped that Joshua and Dylan spent the night over at my mom and dad's house. That freed up almost 2 days for us to work. We finished the swing set late this afternoon. Gram and Grampie stopped by for about 2 hours and helped us this morning with the roof. Thank goodness they did. The kids have already had a lot of fun playing on it. I was a little concerned when Joshua's first comment about the swing set was, "Is that all it does?!" He was going to like that swing set even if he had to pretend! He really does like it though. He has already looked at several books sitting in the clubhouse. Thanks Daddy for building it for us!
