Backyard Addition

With Leila's birthday being in late August, we decided to give her an early birthday present this year. We chose a swing set/play structure for our backyard!! Leila helped load the truck (by holding the broom and sweeping the sidewalk) at Toys R Us. Man, was she excited!! Back at home we had quite the pile of pieces. This picture was taken after about half the pieces had been used already. Wow, good thing Chris loved Legos as a kid! 

  This was a two day project. We started in the late afternoon for a couple hours and finished the next morning.

 This is what Leila did while we worked. Oh, and she asked over and over, "Is it close yet?"

When she woke up from her nap the next morning, her play structure was ready and waiting!! She wasted no time giving it a try.

 That night when I tucked her in, she was very concerned about who would go on the glider swing with her. We had to plan a play date for the next afternoon to solve the problem!
