Christmas in July
3:32 PMIt's Christmas for my girls nearly every day of the year, as my husband would tell you. I used to work in a 2nd hand store FULL of kids stuff, so I would come home with little treats here and there for the girls. Oh, how I love to buy kids stuff. Not only do I love to buy kids stuff, but I love it when my parents buy stuff FOR my kids. :)
I did another one of my crazy searches on craigslist.com, and about a month ago I found this beautiful swing set for sale. They were asking a little too much for it, but I emailed her anyhow and told her what I was willing to pay. A couple of emails back and forth, and it was ours! The only problem? It was 5 1/2 hours away in my parent's town. How on earth was I going to get the thing here?
My kind and generous parents agreed to go get it, dig it out of the ground, store it for a month in their garage, and then borrow my uncle's trailer to get it here....they went through 3 states, and arrived in our driveway on Thursday night.

What ended up as something that I was going to buy for my girls, ended up something that Nana and Bapa bought for the girls for Christmas. I paid for the gas to get it here (at least that's what they tell me).
I'm in love, with a swing set. So are the girls, and our neighbor boys love it too!
