More evidence that my kids are growing up and becoming more independent.
We bought a new swing set this weekend! It is perfect for our three wild children. The right amount of swings so no one fights over them anymore. A cool fort where they can pretend they are spies--their new favorite game that they play constantly! A tire swing. And a super fast slide. They love it! And I love that they can be outside, safe, playing nicely while I am inside. I have been waiting for them to be able to do that for a while. Our last house, which I really did love, really only had play space in the front and side yard. And while they were enclosed with a picket fence, I never let them play outside by themselves because I was too worried of the possibility of them getting hurt or being snatched up. Plus, Levi was too little to be by himself. But this yard, with a big space to play out back, is perfect. And Erika is big and strong and can lift Levi into and out of a swing if needed. Happy mama!

The new play set!
Sunday afternoon, I got to chill inside while they were playing outside. Lovely!
Everyone happily playing outside.
Erika making sure Levi is happy. She is the best big sister!
She didn't always get him in the swing correctly.
At one point, Levi tripped over something and stayed on the ground forever. He would not get up on his own. So I went over to take pictures.
Once he saw the camera he changed his demeanor.
