Austin took two vacation days this week to work on putting together a new play set for the kids. After 10+ hours of poring over terrible instructions and modifying to make up for missing/chintzy pieces (yay for a handy husband!), we have a super fun addition to the backyard. We were really hoping to get some mulch laid down over the landscape fabric, but the yard waste site in Waverly was closed for Good Friday. (Side note: It's great to have free compost and mulch available, as well as a place to dump all our yard waste and leaves, but they have terrible hours!) We're planning to put down a base layer of the free stuff and top-dress it with some nice stuff from the nursery in town.
As you can imagine, Austin had two eager helpers during the process.
The rain held off just long enough this afternoon to get everything set up and let the kids play for a little while. It might have been cold, windy and misty, but they loved it!
Emily's favorite thing so far is the two-seater swing. Lincoln was thrilled to have some sand to dig in again. We're sure looking forward to some warmer days and, as Emily put it, "Having lots of friends over to play!"
