03.15.2010 The Monkeys Go Wild!

The kids and I got our wish! The playset is complete. Did i just type that? WOW! It was quite the ordeal. If you remember..for a couple years now we have really been wanting tot get the Costco big playset for the kids. It's always been out of our budget reality. Well we found one on Craiglist last month - Honey (and grandpa)drove 4 hrs there, disassembled it, and drove it 4 hours back. So it is used - but the kids got what they wanted and it didn't break the bank. Monkey Bars and all! Which was a sis requirement.

Honey in his OCD ways, had to make sure the area was level first. So he had to get out the rototiller and dig it out then move the dirt back so it would be level in the back. Hilarious. But they raked and dug and made it perfect. The whole deal took less than 3 hours. A whole lot better than the initial retrieving of the set!



See the kids in the back - all their nervouse energy - just WAITING!!!





Yes, that is my boy in his pajamas. Why get dressed when he is comfy & warm?
On a side note..the previous owners painted the chains PINK. Those will be going back to blue as soon as i unpack that royal blue spraypaint i have!



Sis was only dressed bcuz we had to go to the grocery store! She tried out those monkey bars the MINUTE we drove in the driveway. She ran straight to the playset! (so much for helping me unload the groceries!)

We had a nice dinner and our friends over - so Colton got to play on it too. I even turned the "runway lights" that were on the back balcony on so they could play on it as it was getting dark. I even joined in - that rock climbing wall is awesome!
