Cheeks and Fruit Basket Arrive Out of Nowhere
I'm not sure if you remember this, but Elizabeth and I were amazed when Ben's cheeks arrived almost overnight, and it is apparent now that this runs in the family. Maya's cheeks arrived via delivery yesterday. Wait, no the Edibles basket arrived via delivery yesterday. We're not sure when the cheeks arrived. The basket is from the Anderson clan (I think "clan" is what they call family in Sweden, or is that Vikings and Norway, or hillbillies. I can never keep it straight). Regardless, Ben throughly enjoyed the basket and we're still enjoying the basket today. THANK YOU ANDERSON's!
And for those of you really wanting to look at some pictures. We've added a photo album. Just look right over there ( <----- follow the arrow) and click on Maya and Ben's Photo Album.
Construction Time
I posted this on Sandbox Threads' blog originally, but in case you didn't see it there, here you go.
We've been busy the last few days with tasks absolutely unrelated to Sandbox Threads. For a while now, we have had two large boxes sitting beside of our garage waiting to be emptied and assembled. Well, that assembly has now taken place. While building this beast of a swing set, I realized a couple of things, I thought I'd share:
1. The lengths to which we will go to make our children happy may very well be limitless. This is coming from me, a dad, and also from my dad who helped me build he swing. I think he was helping me, his son, as much as he was trying to make his grandson happy.
2. The shear genius behind the packaging, design, and assembly instructions just amazed me. There was no a wasted space in the packaged boxes, very few extra parts (this may be our fault that there was any leftover pieces), and while confusing at times, the building of the set was pretty straight forward if you "follow the directions."
I'm pretty proud of this beast o'swing, and my son nearly pees his pants every time he goes outside and see that the swingset is still there.
