Playground Extravaganza!

This is a picture of Jaden and Jules new playground! We bought this last December and got a great deal because it was purchased out of season. I love a great deal!

I thought this was a great deal until I opened the two boxes it was stuffed into. There was probably about 75 boards of all different sizes and shapes and about 500 different bolts, screws, washers, t-nuts, and lock washers. I followed the directions, believe it or not, like I had a choice, and Erica and I counted ALL of the hardware and layed out all the boards to make sure we had a complete kit. We had a complete kit so we continued on with what was sure to be one of the great tests of our marriage. Combine a man, his lovely bride and any kind of a construction project and the out come will be questionable at best.

We started at 1:00 PM this last Saturday and called it a night about 7:00 pm. Six "quality time" hours logged so far! We picked up where we left off Sunday at 1:00 pm after going to church and finished the playground from hell at 8:30pm Sunday evening. We logged a total of 13.50 hours of "quality time" working on this project last weekend. We didn't have one "disagreement" the entire time! That has to be a record in the Hendren household! Jaden loves her new playground and I am sure Jules will when she gets a little older.
