A Swide!!!

Emma loves to be outside. Friday, when we got home, she wanted to go outside and play. Well, we have absolutely nothing to do outside. We have had our share of throwing the ball, blowing bubbles, and doing sidewalk chalk art. When Emma started collecting rocks, I knew it was time for a play set. Do you know how much those things are? It is crazy expensive. So I had a yard sale to raise money for a play set. Well it wasn't very successful. It was pretty windy and apparently all of our signs fell. After sitting in the hot sun and having to keep putting my signs back up, Kevin tells me he has enough money to get her a play set. So that night my neighbor Sara and I go and get two play sets. One for Emma and one for Cailee. It took us about two days to put it together. We had the fort put together the slide and swings were on the porch. Emma still didn't quite get what it was. She kept walking by the slide and wasn't interested at all. When Kevin and Bart carried the slide over to attach it to the fort, Emma and Cailee went ballistic. Emma came running "a swide, a swide". No matter how much Kevin and I argued and threatened each other, the whole time we put the thing up, it was all worth it to hear how excited she was to have a slide. So we have been swiding and fwinging every night since.
