Swingset

 I am a deal diva. I love finding a good deal and this week I scored a free swingset. I've always loved the free section of craigslist and don't often get to things soon enough, but this week I got this swingset for free from a grandma whose grandchildren had outgrown it. Woohoo.

Do you want to be even more impressed? Justin had a crazy, crazy, busy week. I almost waited for him to go pick it up with me, but knew he didn't really have the time. So... I pretty much loaded 3 kids in the truck and drove to pick up the swingset. (luckily, the teenage grandson was there to help me load it). Then I drove home and unloaded it by myself while Justin was still at school. The next day I put it together by myself. We still need to figure out the slide, but we have been having a lot of fun with this new find. I only saw the kids looking through the fence once this week!
VICTORY!!!

LOL. I love your line, "The kids only looked through the fence once." I'm aching for a play structure for the kids. Awesome find, Maggie! And you are super mom, getting it and putting it together by yourself.

You are the deal diva! I love that you just go after things. Remember, you'll never know if you can do it or have it unless you ask or try! You surpass even my deal making skills. Wahoo!
