Another Day

Today was a productive day. Although it was misting outside for most of the day we really seemed to make some progress. M has been looking on Craigs*list for a new swing set for the girls, and came across a Crea*tive Play*set which retails for over 2200.00 new for 600.00 in a near by town about an hour away. She emailed back and forth with the owner to see if he would take 500.00 in cash. Low and behold he said yes, and she made arrangements to come there today and pick it up with my lovely dad. My mom came and picked up Princess at 1o AM so that they could spend the day together. She needed to go to her work to get her flu shot and then she decided to take Princess to the mall. Grammie J (M's mom) decided to take Little Miss so that I could also go look at the swing set to make sure it was something that I liked as well. We took Little Miss to grammies and headed over my parents house to help my father hook up the trailer to his truck. We headed out at noon and arrive a little after 1 PM. Of course the set was still together so that we could look at it, and after some talking the guy and his family is moving to California and we decided to offer them 450.00 and he took it. We got this amazing swing set for a whopping 450.00 dollars and just for comparison it has a 10 foot slide, a fireman's pole, room for 5 swings, a cargo net to climb, and a sandbox area underneath. The man helped us take it apart, and we all loaded it onto the trailer. It was HEAVY! I probably will wake up sore tomorrow and wonder why, but for sure it was lifting about 200lbs. (I might be fibbing a little but it was super heavy and only came apart in 2 sections) We headed home lugged it off of the trailer at Grammie J's house. Little Miss was taking her nap so we decided to leave her there and we would pick her back up later. We got to my parents house and my mom was already home with Princess. We asked her if she wanted to go with us to get some errands done like get pull-ups and juice for them and she didn't want to leave my parents. It was our time to go out and get this stuff done. We headed out got our errands done and picked up the girls, headed home and at the time of 8:15 PM both girls are in bed. It was definitely a complete day. Tomorrow we must go out and get the rest of Little Misses birthday party stuff. It's coming up fast and I want to get everything completed this weekend. Wish us luck!
