So, in an effort to cheer everbody up and have some fun the children and I took off for town to meet up with Brad. He had OT for the rodeo so the children and I set off to conquer Wal Mart in an effort to spare him....since that's his most favorite thing to do with us.....and then do dinner. On a spontaneous note Brad and I decided to celebrate the arrival of our tax return. Instead of waiting until our date night we decided it'd be more fun to have the children with us to pick up their huge longed for surprise. Tax return is when all of these many children start paying off!!!!!
After dinner we headed for Sam's and got the few things we needed and, unknowingly to them, paid for the long awaited swingset. With absolutely no debt attached we paid in cash and accomplished yet another huge goal of acquiring a larger swingset debt free. We drove around the back of Sam's with Grayson and Evye under the impression we were picking up a new computer. Slowly the fork lift drove out with 5 massive boxes and the green slide on top. The crowds cheered. There was much excitement on everyone's part as they eagerly watched a crew of guys load it onto the bed of Brad's truck. Clapping, cheering and an overall chaos reigned.
So, here we are with tons of oversized boxes that the children are beggingto be opened and the contents begging to be put together. Looks like we have our week long project cut out for us!

How exciting! Can't wait to see pics of them all on it! I was doing our taxes & when I added Elizabeth in, I was shocked at how much the refund went up! Yeah, kids!!!
hehe...i really want to get one of those this summer...i had a smaller plastic one that went over to my brother's house when we moved from one apt to another (we couldn't have it at the new place) and it's been at my bro's house for over 3 years now...so i'm thinking of just getting a new one...thanks for the idea of heading to sam's club...i bet the price will be reasonable!
