Construction Zone

So there has been definite progress made as far as putting together the "tree house" out back. Brian and dad worked for about 4 or 5 hours on Sunday and were able to get the base up and the swing beam. And, there was only one additional trip to Home Depot needed! And, even better (for those who know my dad) there were no band aids needed. Savannah was so excited! She keeps saying that it is her princess castle. She cannot wait to have the whole thing finished. We went out today and got her a swing and ordered her a glider. Dad got a lot of good ideas for what he would like make to go with the play set. She may have the Taj Mahal before all is said and done :)

Brian and I have realized that we are both deficient at driving a nail into wood. We were trying to put up some more stabilizing pieces to the main base tonight. Well, after about 6 nails of destruction we gave up and decided God created screws and drills for something :)

On a side note, as a follow up to our Easter egg hunt on Saturday. As many of you know, we took Savannah recently to an allergist to be tested for possible allergy problems. Well, it turns out she is allergic to many things, including different grasses, mold, multiple trees, cats, feathers, and more. Well, if you might recall the pictures from the last post, Savannah's brilliant parents (not naming any specific names :) ) let her run around in a pen full of hay, goats and rabbits. Needless to day, she spent most of Sunday miserable, with red, puffy, itchy eyes and even a low grade fever. I guess mom and dad need to think a bit more about what we let her do!
