So two weekends ago we decided to build our kids a new playhouse/swingset. Brenten has been obsessed with wanting a "treehouse" however we have no trees! We try and tell him that by the time any trees we plant would grow big enough and strong enough to support a treehouse, he will likely a)not live here anymore, or b) not really care about tree houses anymore or c)all of the above!! The directions call for two above average skilled adults to spend 24-30 hours building this...Nick felt that he could throw this thing up in no more than 5 or 6 hours--by himself! He actually got it up in only two days...but tried to kill himself in the process...he worked really hard. The kids LOVE it...the saddest part was that it got finished and the next day came the rain...and we've had off and on rain ever since! There have been a few good days though and they run out to play at any chance!
Lexie loves her swing, and her slidy slide!
There is a ladder on the other side, but both feel that you
need to climb the rockwall/ladder and crawl through the
tunnel to get to the slide/playhouse!
Lexie is holding a fruit by the foot...they both think this is
the perfect place for snacks and lunch!

How fun! My kids are so excited to come and play on it. Your kids look so cute and happy to have it.
PS- Lex is SSOOOOOO cute singing that song. My girls love that show and song too!
I am so jealous! That is one of the things on my giganormous list to get for our house. Where did you get yours at?
That's awesome, it's amazing how much entertainment those things provide. Have the neighbors seen yet, cause when they do you'll have to start chasing them away with a broom stick
Looks like fun. I'm sure they entertainment themselves for hours with that.
It is BEAUTIFUL!!! Good job Nicholas!! and Lexie did a wonderful job singing..... you are so very clever!! I feel proud that I introduced you to blogging to help with my homework!! You have definitely taken it to new heights!! Love....Mom
I'm jealous, my kids would love to have a playset in their backyard, only their backyard is not big enough to fit one of those in it. Maybe someday...We'll have to come visit and play on yours.
