Craig's List

Several posts ago, I talked about our backyard and how we were so happy to have a play set that the kids could play on instead of having to go to the park. I also mentioned that we were going to move the playset to a different place in the yard. Well, when Aaron began taking the playset apart, it began to fall apart! We also managed to disrupt a lot of fire ants. Not having much money, as a result of having to replace our air conditioner and furnace, we couldn't afford a pre-made playset or even build one by ourselves. So I decided to check Craig's List for one. Each day I would get on the site and search. One morning I found one in Mooresville that looked like it was in really good shape and they only wanted $250 for it. We would have to go and take it apart, haul it back to our house and then reassemble it but I thought that it was a good deal. So we bought it. Aaron and I got a babysitter for the morning and we drove up to get it. We spent about 4 hours taking it all apart and then we brought it back to our house. We had hoped to have it up by Eli's birthday party, but it was too much work! Thankfully, we had a whole bunch of family in town for Eli's birthday so we had them to help us. After many hands and several hours later, it is up and we are enjoying it SO much! If you're ever nearby, you need to stop in a swing with us. It is tons of fun!
