Ready, set, play!

Two years ago for Conrad's birthday we got him one of those big swing sets from Sam's Club. Knowing we were going to be building a house next to Mom, we didn't want to put it up at our house on Quailview and then have to take it apart and move it 6 months later. We opted to build it at Mom's house with the plan to move it once our house was done. It never happened in the fall, and this spring it has been too wet to even consider. Yesterday Jason looked out and decided it was time. Rylan was taking his nap and I was working, so he left on his own to see if he could figure out how to move it. Good thing Paul is in town! Before long I saw them carrying the climbing wall, the stairs, and the other smaller parts. Then they disappeared for at least an hour. I was sure they would have to wait until someone else was there to get the big part. You can imagine my shock when I saw Mom's van drive by pulling the playhouse. Jason and Paul had built a sort of sled and were dragging it effortlessly through the yard. Now my job is to go get sand today and figure out a way to cover it so the stray cats don't, um, well....you know.
