A castle built for the princesses


So one hot weekend, the princesses grandparents on my husbands side, came out to help build them a castle. Complete with swings (two of course), a slide, a steering wheel, and a look out tower with a periscope. It turned into a massive structure that even mommy and daddy can be on (swings included). There is still a little bit of work left to do but it's mostly complete. Sure enough though the princesses have already argued over the swings (even though there are two). One is set slightly higher for Sweet Pea and one lower for Cocoa. They swing back and forth, or at least Sweet Pea does. She's getting the hang of pumping her legs. While Cocoa, sweet sweet Cocoa, takes to laying on the swing on her belly. She's pretending she's flying like a bird. Of course they've argued over slide as well. Both want to go first and both want to take their time at the top and the bottom as well. It seems as though no matter what, they will always argue. Sad. Yes they do enjoy the castle very much. Even though the past few days have been so hot that we haven't even gone outside. Cooler days to come though. The slide gets pretty hot in the sun. So now when I have to mow the lawn, they have an extra place to play. But it doesn't mean they'll stay put. At least this takes the pressure off of mommy of having to drive them to the playground.
