Hoopin' it up

 As trite and cliché as it may sound, clouds do have silver their silver linings.

J got three days off work for his grandmother's death, so he was able to come home after the funeral. The little break was a welcome one because otherwise he would have been gone from us for a full month. He still won't be back until April 5th, but the break made the long stretch a little more bearable. I really pray he gets his transfer this summer.

A package arrived the day before he got back:

And thanks to frigg, you get to see a step-by-almost-step of the set-up of what is inside.

Kids and dog approve. Let the growing begin.

Sorry for the different photo sizes.  No idea what is up with it and not wasting my time figuring it out.

Keep your eye on that "pond." Fixing that will be one of the big projects this spring/summer.

Marvelous, you've got a greenhouse up! I've always wondered how easily these went up--you guys make it look like a snap. Love seeing the kids running about.

Okay! I will keep my eye on the pond ;-)

Well, the instructions said that it would take two people two days; but those two people obviously didn't have three small children to take care of at the same time or grocery shopping to do. :P So we took three days. Not bad considering we were out in the rain, snow, and sleet for part of the construction.

The kids really love it here, but they miss their friends in Egypt.

I can't wait to hear more about it when you get it going.
