Thank you ‘Economic Stimulus’.  Obviously I think the Economic Stimulus Act is a completely idiotic ‘solution’ to the slow economy; but, in our current position in life we happen to benefit greatly from it (married, two kids, below the monetary thresholds).  So, to do as we are supposed to do with the money, we dumped some of it back into the economy by buying the kids a big playground.

‘Build and play in one day’ is what the box claimed, and it could probably be done if you got started early enough.  But I didn’t get started until about 3 o’clock on Sunday, and the construction ended up extending into Monday.  Thanks to Mark, Steph, and Steve, we got it all put together.  Needless to say, the kids absolutely love it.  Xavier has literally been running around in circles screaming in excitement about it.  Ali is happy too because she can finally swing at the same time as Xavier.  Here are a few pictures of it.  It makes our backyard look a lot cooler, that’s for sure.
