Daddy is full of surprises!

Daddy is full of surprises lately. First, while we were in Houston David decided to build (from scratch!!!!) a fort/playground for Colton (and big girl Sadie) in our backyard. Yes, from scratch. He thought up the design and worked steadily while we were gone - buying lumber and parts at lowe's. David is really a gifted handyman and builder...there aren't too many household projects he doesn't tackle and complete himself. I knew about the project and had him sending me pictures while we were away. I thought we were keeping it a tight secret, but when I told Colton "daddy is working on a surprise for you" he replied with "a park?" - so, I guess he's a good listener!

Here's a few pictures of the masterpiece...

As for Colton's reaction - he was very excited and enjoys playing on it. He especially loves to swing.
And the next really fun surprise was my fun new laptop that David and the kids gave me for Mother's Day. It's my first laptop and I absolutely love it. It was such a surprise and a fun present. It was one heck of a mother's day present! Now if I can only get creative and think of something fun for father's day. :)
