Swinging Away… and a CSN Giveaway

I’ve been amused (and maybe just a teensy bit jealous) at all the snow photos showing up around the blogosphere.  Here in Oregon, we’ve been having sunny skies and spring-like weather – a perfect time to be thinking about backyard swing sets and mud pies and frog hunts and sand squishing between little toes.

We’ve got the start of a custom swing set up in our backyard, and the swing is the first place Miss Esmé heads whenever we go out.  With Grandpa and Grandma here last week, she got the hang of the whole pumping action.

Which is really great, because after a had fall last year from an abrupt push, she’s been scared to death of getting on a swing.  And now that she’s in control of the swing herself, she’s thoroughly enjoying it.  Not going very high, but enjoying it.

Speaking of swings, CSN’s Swingsets And More site has tons of swing sets and table sets and other outdoor play equipment for you to pick from:

They also have the components for a custom play set if you’re making your own, like we are. 

AND – CSN is sponsoring a giveaway!  To enter to win a US $75 promotional code for use on any of CSN’s 200+ stores:
  • Comment on the giveaway post telling what you/your kids’ favorite backyard activity is.
  • If you are a follower or subscriber, leave a second comment for a second entry.

Open to US and Canadian readers only.  Winner will randomly be picked after Sunday, February 20th.

We live in a wooded area and across from an OLD Community House that is somewhat rundown and over grown foliage. The girls love to use their imaginations and make believe they are in some fantasy world. Sometimes they are Princesses, sometimes they they pretend to be like Nancy Drews solving mysteries... I'm just glad we live in a very safe neighborhood!
