One up, one to go

After leasing one of our houses recently, I had some lease-option money to spend. After much deliberation, I decided to spend some of that money on swing sets for the girls. We cleared out some brush and stuff in the back and built one of two swing sets (both sets will give us a total of 6 swings). When the girls came home from Maggie's house (2 houses down the street) and realized the swings were ready, they raced back there and have been back there now for over an hour.

Of course, it's kinda muddy right now because it rained most of the day. I will probably be buying some rain boots for them to wear on days like today.

We also bought a slide to add to the side of the treehouse.

Here's what the "playground" looks like from behind

I'm trying to decide what colors to paint the treehouse this summer. Some of the inside walls are going to get some chalkboard paint, but I need to think of a color scheme for the outside--the walls, floor, and rails...Any suggestions?
