Weekend Project

We bought Hailey a swingset for her birthday and had been waiting for some warmer weather before we put it together.  When the forecast called temps in the 70s this week, we decided it was time. When the set arrived on our driveway in two big boxes, we knew it was going to be quite a challenge to get this thing together. 



Kevin unpacked and organized all the pieces in our living room



Hard working men
My sweet Daddy and brother came to help


Hailey helped supervise

After two full days of building, the swingset was finally ready. 
Climbing up....


Sliding Down!




R is for .......lion???

Hailey has been learning her ABCs.  She has been able to say the alphabet for some time now, but lately she has been working on recognizing individual letters.  Tonight she was playing with her foam letters while in the bathtub.  Kevin would hold up a letter, Hailey would yell it out and then name something that starts with that letter.  D-Daddy, M-monkey, P-pig....and so on.  She was just rattling them off and I was quite impressed!

Then Kevin held up the letter R, and Hailey goes R - lion!  We were like what are you talking about?? She just kept saying it over and over.  Finally I realized - lion goes roarrrrr! Whenever she sees a lion in a book or on tv she always yells roarrrrr.  We got a good laugh over this and I thought it was just too funny not to share!
