Nana decided that the kids had to have something better than the rickety old swingset that came with the house years ago so they've been very busy "helping" build their new playset.  It feels like its taking forever though - it took a few days just to get the ground level enough to build on, then it turns out that each box we open (there are 4 in total and we've made it to box 2) is missing a piece so that keeps halting our progress.

The kids do seem happy with it so far though, at least since we filled up the bottom sandbox for them   Hopefully that will keep them entertained while daddy waits on the missing parts!  Thanks so much nana - I know you're as thrilled as we are that we no longer have to "hold the pole" while the kids swing into outerspace!
