Here it is.
The spring in my step. The apple of my eye.
Who knew that eternal happiness lived on Craigslist and could be talked down from 100 bucks to 75? Yeah baby.
It stayed in the street until we could get it up and onto the curb and call a friend to help get it up our front steps. As we waited, every person who drove down our street slowed down so they could get a look. Everyone except for one guy. He stopped, got out, and asked if he could "try it out." And he totally did. Cheeky little monkey.
Speaking of monkeys, I suppose it goes without saying that the boys haven't left it alone since it arrived. And who can blame them? It's only the most freakin' awesome thing in the whole wide world.
(And a matching sock. Who are these peasant children?)
It's awesome! NO wonder you had to have it. I'm totally in lust and jealous. Enjoy it!

ReplyDeleteThat really is the most awesome thing I've seen. How do you do it?
ReplyDeletethat is freaking awesome! I went in one in London, and it stunk so bad, I could barely stand in it.. I will safely assume after a week of your boys playing in it, it will probably stink too. hahaa, just kidding! Love your find! ummm so when are we meeting again? ;)
