assistants

after seeing how much the boys enjoyed some friends' trampoline, we decided to get one of our own.  initially i thought to make it a gift for the eldest's birthday (end of september) and see if the grandparents & uncles wanted to chip in.  the husband thought it was better to go ahead and buy now to use through the spring and summer, and since we found a good deal online (family donations are still appreciated!), we ordered it at the end of march.
it finally arrived yesterday, and thankfully the rain cleared up so the husband could go ahead and assemble (uh, "thankfully" for the super-excited eldest, maybe not so much for the husband).

i think there will definitely be some rowdy boys (and sisters) playdates in our future!
(and oddly, when i think of that, i get this stuck in my head...)
