Our New Play Set

But first a photo for Grandma Bartley. Thanks for the pretty dress. This is the last dress in the box of 2T clothes we pulled out. So you won't be seeing any new dresses for awhile. She is definitely set for the summer. Thanks to her Grandmas.
OK, on to the playset. As I said before, we bought a large wooden playset for the kids to help fill our spacious backyard. After cutting down a few tree limbs we were ready to get started building. RJ has tried to be patience all week, it has been tough. The rain hasn't helped much. Jared and RJ helped a friend move to a new house on Saturday, luckily for RJ, Daddy had Monday off and there was a break in the rain storm. Jared got up really early Monday morning to get started. This picture was taken at the end of the first step, when I finally made it outside. I am so lucky to have a handyman for a husband. You can see all the wood and parts in the back.
The club house is just about complete and the kids are helping Daddy decided where to put the "rock" for their rock wall.


RJ is so excited it is almost done and it has started to sprinkle.
We are done, actually Jared is done. I helped out a little here and there holding up parts and the kids helped screw in a few screws but Jared pretty much did it all. He even worked through the rain.
The kids of course had to try it even in the rain.

It was well worth the wait and mud they were covered in.
