The BIGGEST project EVER!

3 months after moving in . . . we have finally finished the playset!

                          before we moved in . . .               . . . leveling the ground
We worked non-stop on building the playset the week of Brandt's birthday party!  After dark we still kept working in the garage even.  Rich had been leveling the ground since we moved in.  It was more work than we thought it would be.  We finished building it the day before his party and then this pile of mulch was on our driveway the day of.  I moved mulch for 5 hours straight.  Rich and a neighbor boy finished clearing it 5 min before the party started!

ALL THE KIDS LOVED IT!!

YEAH IT IS FINALLY DONE!!

That is better than the community park!
It sounds like hard work but it looks like it was worth it.
You have been a bloggin' fool!

What a TON of work! It paid off though, it looks great and the kids look like they love it!! Happy Birthday Brandt!
Moving mulch for 5 hrs? WOW, you are tough!

About Jay not liking school ... Emi holds onto my leg and says she doesn't want to go to school every morning waiting for the bus. I hope it gets better soon! She misses playing with Paige and her friends.

Hi Kelly! I'm glad I found your blog! Your boys are so handsome and what a gorgeous house and play set! Wow! I'd love something like that for our kids, but we're moving after one year again! Hope residency is going well for you guys!

How cool! A lot of hard work but it looks like it paid off! Can I come play?

I remember the boys wanted Rich to put the playset together the day after the movers came. A little bigger project than you planned on, huh? It sure looks awesome now though! Love MOM

Okay, I don't know too many people that could do this on their own! But then again you did put together a whole desk for Rich when you were dating ;) Looks awesome!

Wow! Good Job! that has to be a Costco playground because we got our's there and it looks almost identical :) We gave up putting it together ourselves after 3 hours of clearing and leveling!

Man my boys would love something like that... I'm not really up for shoveling anything for 5 hours straight though... although it might actually put me into labor which I wouldn't be so sad about.
