Well Merry Freaking Christmas

This looks like a very heavy and possibly expensive problem.
That would be our swingset, pulled out of the ground and pitched 10 feet across the lawn.

We think this climber is going to be salvagable, after we looked at it closer.


The playhouse, not so much.
We came home from my parents to this mess in our yard. Our sweet neighbors had piled up the plastic for us, and told us it was strewn down the block. Our swingset wasn't just tipped over, but actually picked up and pitched. We won't know the full extent of the damage until my brother comes over tomorrow to help us pick it up. The thing weighs several hundred pounds. I am praying that it is structually ok, but the slide and rock wall are ruined for sure. It could have been far, far worse. That swingset could have been tossed into our house. Or we could have been home, and been outside. So I am trying to be thankful for what we do have. I can still be a little ticked off though. Good thing we brought home Aunt Emily. She's got to babysit while I pick up the rest of the playhouse off the golf course.
