In late April, we began construction on Maddie and Liam's play set. Maddie quickly began calling it her bird house and the name has stuck.
Slowly, ever so slowly, construction happened on random weekends and week nights after dinner. This all depended on whether or not it was raining.
Phase 1: Initial structure and supports.
Due to the rain, we decided to tarp it between working times. We didn't want all of the labels to fall off of the pieces. So the "Blue Monster" stayed in our yard for a couple of weeks.
Phase 2: It finally started to look like the beginnings of a play house.
Liam liked watching us work on the bird house from his pack-n-play.
Phase 3 : Bird house constructed. Finally, Maddie got to stand inside her birdhouse. She was so excited!
Maddie wants to know how to get down from there. Should I jump or not?
Phase 4: HAVING FUN!!
Here is Liam swinging, but he just won't keep on his sunglasses!
Maddie on her swing!
Maddie on her "curvy" slide!

Phase 5: Landscaping/ Rock box
So the final and phase is another one for Scott and I. Getting the area under the Birdhouse to become a landscaped area with a rock box instead of a sandbox. So that is the next phase. I hope to have it done by Liam's birthday party in July.
