Trampolines and other ideas

Posted on Sunday, April 6, 2008 at 08:40

Spring is such a busy time. A time for all of the things that I would like to get done.  But don't really have the extra time to get it done.  The first being getting my kids their trampoline.  You see their great grandmother, rather than spending money on individual toys they DON"T need, used her $ wisely and put it together to buy them a trampoline for the back yard.  Great excersize and great fun. However upon putting it together the frame bent so it was either a defective one or a poorly made one.  So I took it back and have been trying to research which one I should get.  I want one well made but one that does not go over the cost of the one she purchased...not too much more anyway.  I am looking for past experience from anyone that has owned or currently owns ones.  What brands are durable and what brands should I stay away from. 

Second on my list of things to do is to is put an add out to stud our lab out.  He is five and could potentially make us some money.  I just need to find the right avenue to put his info out there.  So if any of you are in the tri-state New England area and have a female lab you want to breed, let me know.

Other items on my to do list include:  replacing the zipper on my son's spring jacket, hemming some of my hubby's work pants that have needed hemming for about 9 months now, cleaning out the kids closets, shampooing rugs, deep cleaning kitchen ( which means taking everything out and washing inside and out and washing tables and chairs), washing the walls, cleaning out the garden and getting it ready for planting, raking the lawn.

Well I'm not going to worry or kill myself over my wish list of things to get done.  After all is Jesus really going to care how clean my cupboards are????  No I think he will care more about who I made time to help and minister to this week.  Till next time......

Spring is a busy time. But I often think like you do; would Jesus care more that we clean out closets, or that I spend time w/ my treasures outside, enjoying the world He's given us. I choose to play, more often than not. That's what my kid's will remember.
As for the dog, no advice. The trampoline- get a big one!
