So for Jeff's long weekend he decided we should build Elli and Dameian's playground, which we half way had up..I thought.. So first the big yellow slide had to come down cause Jeff redesigned it all...now its going back up and so is everthing else that was piled up in the yard waiting for us to have a long weekend that wasn't raining. So if you drove down 86th st and noticed the big yellow slide missing..it will be back soon, don't worry.


Jeff got the frame of the main structure built Friday
and we set it up Friday evening. Looks kinda plain...



The kids were over joyed!

We spent most of Saturday getting the top of the yellow slide up
IT WAS HEAVY
got the first section of slide attached and went for a swim and then to bed.

Sunday came and the wind blew very hard alllll day
This makes lifting awkard heavy slide pieces difficult so we worked on the fire truck and "space pod"
We were smart and built ramps to push the pieces up into their spots cause the fire truck is heavier than the slide pieces.

Yay red space pod thing... lol not sure what its called but its got little steering wheels inside for the kids.
Had to take off the fire trucks front wheel to get it up the ramp - tomorrows project will be getting it back on.



Ta Da Fire truck in the air!
It shades the steps nicely.



Today wore us out and my garden kept distracting me, so we stopped building and put up some of the screens on the tower to keep little ones from jumping off, and got the tic tac toe board put on the middle level.
I also planted some grass seed...exciting  : )
So if the winds die down tomorrow we will attempt to put the rest of the yellow slide up, Jeff still needs to decide where he is putting Elli's see saw ~ she told him she wants 3 of them I think he is only gonna give her one.. poor girl.

So the yellow slide was very difficult to lift, and the blue slide goes 6 foot higher..ahhh so were debating if we should even try and put it up mostly cause were not sure how were gonna get it that high. So its either gonna be figure out how to get the blue slide up, put the train where the blue slide would go on the third level, or just leave it as a walk way/platform type thing and not put anything up there. Suppose we'll see.

And if you were wondering.. no I still have not finished Elli's room, I have not decided if I want to paint a white picket fence and flowers or just flowers, I think just flowers would look odd, but the fence will take alot of time which I never seem to have any free of. Plus I went to Hobby Lobby with Robyn this week which gave me more ideas of flowers I could do so I need to get them made..ahh to do list a mile long.

Bed time now  yay!!!
