Brett's new swing set!

We had one fun weekend over here at the Bingham household. What made it so fun? Kyle put together Brett's new swing set!!! There were A LOT of pieces and it definitely was not a one man job, so thankfully our good friend and neighbor Bill came over to help. I don't think Kyle could have done it without him, so thank you, Bill!!! The guys worked hard and did a GREAT job!! And of course Brett and Abby wanted to "help" too. Their "helping" consisted of fighting over who got to hold the screw driver, Brett telling Abby  which wood pieces were his, and the two of them balancing on the materials. Just what you would expect from 3 year old's, right? :-) After a little while, Brett accidentally hammered Abby's finger so Laura and I decided it was time to take the kids inside. Brett chose to stay out and help the guys and even insisted on going with them to pick up pizza for lunch :-) I guess us girls (and baby Jackson) just aren't as much fun :-)

And here are the other helpers. They're not excited or anything :-)

It's starting to come together!!

Look at that happy face!!

Still a little more work to do...tomorrow!

 

"I can see the top, mommy!"

Finishing the job on Sunday...almost done!

Brett went straight for the rings...weeeee!

And now it's time to SWINGGGGGG!!!!

And here it is....Brett's very own SWING SET!!!!! The guys sure did a great job, didn't they?

"I can climb up all by myself, daddy!"

Yesterday evening the Lokers came over so Brett and Abby could swing together again. As Laura and I pushed them we talked...and talked...and talked. Then we looked at each other and realized what had just happened. We had had an actual conversation with no arguments to break up, toys to fix, questions to answer, etc for a whole 20 minutes!!! WOW! This could be one FUN summer for both the kids AND adults! :-)
