Thursday was a fun day. It was Hannah's birthday. I had a difficult time figuring out what to do for her birthday this year, but it turned out fine. She had a fun day. In the morning, some of her friends came over for the pink cupcakes that she has been asking me to make for the last month or more. It was hot, so the kids all played outside and ran through the sprinkler and did a lot of swinging on the swing set that Brian found for her for FREE on Craigslist. Gotta love Craigslist. Brian and I put the swingset together after the kids went to bed on Wednesday night so that it would be a surprise for her birthday. We were up until about midnight working on it. Whoever had it before, cemented it into the ground and so it still had these huge chunks of cement on each pole and we had to dig these holes to bury the cement. There was a gargantuan cherry tree root that Brian had to extract for one of the holes, it seemed fairly ridiculous, but incredibly satifying to have it up and then to see the kids the next day having such a good time on it. Wow! Sometimes being a parent is fun. Hard work, but fun.
Here is a picture of her on Wednesday night when we had Doug and Ruth and Grandma Alice over for dinner.
