Day 142

We sold our playset today. It was a little bittersweet. The kids were ready to get a trampoline, but realizing that the swingset and climbing stuff was over, it was a little hard to swallow. I think the youngest had a bit of a hard time about it, but she helped me pick out a new trampoline to order for the area and hopefully it will come soon!

The flowers that lined the corners still stand, it will be fun to see what lies ahead for our beloved play area... okay, enough sappy stuff. The pool got opened today, and that's exciting! Life moves on in a fresh and fun way, so we're ready to embrace it!
For those of you who asked about the link to the kid's photos taken the other day, I linked them on the photo with the umbrella. I believe it was Day 138. Thanks for the response on that photo. It was an easy find! :)

This picture is beautiful and vibrant, Kara!

That is bitter-sweet about getting rid of the playset. I think these things are usually harder on mamas than they are on children, as children are often very excited to move on and grow up. I hope for your daughter's sake that your trampoline does come soon.

gorgeous playset. We're about to go back through all the toys we put into the loft/attic as the kids figure they are older and can get rid of more... yep bittersweet!
