Courtney's Surprise

Ta Da! Here's our Craiglist Freebie I'm so proud of getting! The guy said I was about the 80th person to reply to his ad, but for some reason, we're the ones he gave it to, and I am so grateful!! I baked them zucchini brownies and no bake cookies : ) It's been sitting in pieces in our garage for a few months now, and now that the weather is nice, out it came and up it went!


(The dirt that lines the wall is actually our garden beds. We haven't gotten to them yet, that's why it looks so terrible! But this weekend we'll start planting a few things. Oh- and our underground sprinkler system is getting fixed in a few days, too.... the winter after we moved in, the pipe froze and busted...3 years later we're just now getting it fixed... no more dragging hoses and sprinklers around to water the lawn, woo hoo!)

Courtney giving it a try.

Our friend Brandon (who helped put it together) giving Courtney a push.


And here's Courtney's favorite part...the baby swing. Phooey with the big girl swings, she wants to go high in the 'baby swing'!

And that she did, well into the night...this is about an hour past bedtime. It was pretty tricky getting her out of that swing to go in for pajamas and bed.

I still can't believe you got that for FREE!!! So lucky!!!
I love that she wanted to stay in it so late. haha!

When we put our sprinklers in, we heard that at the end of each year you should have a company come and blow all the water out of the pipes before winter. That will keep them from busting.
I am happy you don't have to drag a sprinkler around this year!!
That is the BEST gift any mommy could get. :)

What a fun swingset! I really wish we had one too because it would give my kids something to do outside besides play in the dirt.
