Taa Daa: Swingset-scaping

We finally, finally got some ground cover for under and around the swing set today, something we've had on our to-do list for TWO years. We're putting some of that tax-return money to good use.  :)

Waaay Before (2009):


After (2011):


For the record:  Josh gets all the credit because he did all the hard labor and heavy lifting.  I only poured out and raked the bark all around.  I did design the shape and size though.  And I made lunch and dinner!

Well... cooking dinner, designing, and raking are certainly important jobs too. :) But I hear you in your thankfulness for your oh-so-handy husband! He's a star.

It makes me smile to see how the "swings" on your swingset have changed in the past 2 years. :)

Elizabeth - Too true! We just threw that blue toddler swing away this past week after realizing it was too dirty to clean and resell. We have a pink on just like it that is tagged for a consignment sale for next week. :)

All: Thanks! It really adds a lot of polish to the backyard - I keep looking out the window and smiling. :)
