swing making


Last weekend we were hanging out in the garden, and my daughter and her friend were playing on the "twizzler", a beloved hanging toy on which the kids can twirl and swing.  Unfortunately there were two of them and only one twizzler.  So I proposed that we make another swing.  And rather than say, not right now, like I sometimes do, I said let's do it.  And we did.  In 30 minutes - or maybe that was an hour and 30 minutes........., we pulled out the drill and a piece of scrap 2x6 and drilled the holes, found some rope (after a phone call request), and hung it up.  And it worked.  Such an amazing small victory for my DIY efforts, and a great teaching moment.
