building the swingset

kenneth and i got the boys a swing set for Christmas and we're just now finding the time to put that ridiculous thing together! i'm telling you, this thing has a billion different sized boards named "w4" and "h3" and such nonsense....but none of them are labeled, tagged, or stamped as such! saturday morning, we recruited some help. chess and john came over and between the three of them (four of us if you count them hollering for me to check behind them) some headway was made!


they don't really appear to have a clue at this point, but things picked up from here!
how many men does it take to screw in one bolt? ha! actually, this particular bolt that took such awesome teamwork ended up being WRONG! thankfully they had called me over to "see if this looks right" and it looked anything but right! that board was sloping down worse than my driveway. they admitted it was wrong, laughed about it, and kept on building! hopefully, we'll have it finished sometime this week. if you would like to donate some of your time to the Blake & Brady's Swing Set Foundation please feel free to drop by! you'll be blessed by giving your time so generously!

on a side note, a few posts back i shared pics of my horrible walk-in closet that i can't actually walk into.....and vowed to have it cleaned up soon with pics to prove it. well lemme just tell ya. i didn't get it cleaned through the holidays...so sue me! now i've started a diet and quit coke, dr. pepper, breads, AND sweets cold-turkey....i have a chronic pounding headache from it......and on top of that i'm breaking in some new bras so gimme a break!! wow. i feel a little better now. i will get it cleaned eventually, i promise. phew! i've gotta go to bed now! good night!
