Eve of the Swing Set

For those of you who know Isabelle well she loves, loves, loves, OUTSIDE. She couldn't care if it was 100 degrees outside or 20 degrees outside, she just wants to be out. She also loves to swing and slide.. Dave and I have been trying to decide whether or not to get a swing set for the backyard because we within walking distance of a few playgrounds, and then we could not decide whether we should get wood or plastic. We finally made up our minds and went with a wooden swing set from Toys R Us.

It is going to be a major feat to get this thing together so Dave and Pop-Pop (Dave's dad) are going to tackle the chore on Saturday. Isabelle is so excited!! The slide is in a box in the entry way and she keeps walking by asking me to open it (when she says it, it sounds like "bobben it Mommy"), I have been holding her back all week. She can also see the neighbors swing set from over our fence and she tell us, "I want that". I think Dad and Pop Pop will have this thing about half way up before she can resist climbing all over it.

The construction of the set I am sure will make a very interesting blog post, so keep checking for updates.

Here is a picture of Isabelle's first day, and her last day on her "baby" swing set. She's a big girl NOW!
