I Love It When That Happens


I love free things. Early this week I received a phone call from lady we know. She told me her neighbors were getting rid of a swing set and they had just put it out by the road for someone to take. (!!) I had been thinking about how nice it would be to have a swing set for Josh to play on when he gets just a wee bit bigger and since she said it was in good shape, we jumped on it. The set just needs a little washing and I am so looking forward to setting it up with Adam. It is the same set as is in the photo above, except that it has a baby swing too. (So we could use it this summer!!) I looked online and this particular set sells anywhere between $500 and $650, so I'm real appreciative to get it for nothing. (Thanks H & K!!) I'm hoping to get it set up this afternoon. It'll be fun to be able to take Josh outside to play. (Yea!)

How NICE for you guys!! I wish we lived closer and we could have a play date :)
The house we're renting has a swingset/play house in the backyard, but it's rather creepy. And it doesn't have a baby swing.
If I knew we'd be here awhile I'd spend the time and money to fix it up and paint it - but it seems a shame to do that if we end up moving before the boys can really enjoy it!

Very great swingset. I saw one in somebody's yard when I was out this afternoon. They're kind of cute.

Jessica, I wish you lived closer too cause it would be SO fun to have someone to play with ;)

We'll be using our set more now that I'm back home again. Maybe we'll be out there swinging tomorrow!
