A Mind of Her Own...

I was taking Hallee's clothes off of the clothes line the other day while she was playing nearby. Hallee came running over and grabbed this pair of pajama pants out of the basket. She tried and tried to get them to stay on her head. Hallee handed them to me, whined and pointed to her head. So I obliged her and put them on her head. Every time I tried to take them off, she screamed and pointed to her head! So Hallee played in the backyard with pajama pants on her head for nearly 15 minutes! I can only imagine what the neighbors were thinking!

New Swing Set

Hallee has a new swing set! We spent a lot of time looking for the right one. We wanted something that was good quality and would last quite a few years without spending an arm and a leg. We ended up finding a used play set in a nearby small town. The family has two teenagers that had outgrown it. It is much bigger and more elaborate than we would have ever purchased new. Andy spent some time working on it and fixing it up, and we still have work to do (it is nice to have a handy husband!) We've already spent a lot of time swinging and going down the slide. Hallee brings us her shoes and stands at the back door begging to go out and play.

This was before Andy installed the monkey bars.
