That's right, after a long week of spending EVERY night working on this thing it is FINALLY finished! Thanks a bunch to Eric who helped get us started, and Alan (aka: Grandpa) who came in at the end to finish us off (which was greatly appreciated, I was SO ready to be done!). Peyton is very glad to see it finished as well, ya know, for a girl that just loves to be outside, she did NOT enjoy having me be out there but to busy to play with her. She was pretty whiny most of the time we were working on it, but as soon as we got the swings up at the end she was more than happy to test them out and was very upset when I took her inside for a nap. Halli was Ecstatic that it was finally finished and I know she'll be spending most of her days out there on the swing. She's already said she wants to have a sleepover in the clubhouse, and she gets to sleep in the tunnel part!
Kevin feels great, but I'm exhausted, and my feet are swollen. Even with all that, its well worth the sense of accomplishment to know that we actually finished this huge project. But don't get me wrong, I NEVER want to put another one of these together again, and we are NOT moving till all the kids are old enough to no longer want to use it, just so I can avoid doing it again! I'm so glad it's done and I hope the weather stays as wonderful as it has been so that we can truly use it as much as I hope we do!

Yes, the girls are still in their pajamas, and yes it was 1:00 in the afternoon, I didn't think it would take us that long to finish it today. Okay, so Peyton is only in her pajama top because at one point she decided the bottoms were unnecessary and that a diaper was the way to go. Once that got too dirty I decided to change her diaper and at least put shorts on. She could have cared less.

It looks awesome! Can't wait to come over and play all the time!
that looks like lots of fun!!! I'm impressed you helped in all your "preggo-ness." This will be your lifesaver this summer. My suggestion: stock up on lots of popsicles and your kids will stay out longer!!!
What a great playset! We almost got that one, but when we went to purchase, they were sold out! They are a lot of work. Good job!

Yea!! I know you are so so glad that it is done! Tell Halli were coming over for a sllep over . :)
It looks great! You are such a trooper! Hope you have recovered and are feeling ok!
Wow that thing is HUGE, no wonder it took so long to put together. I can see why the girls love it so much.
Love the Photos of the girls on the swings. You're getting good.
