The “Shed” Revealed
On April 28, at around 7 a.m., Lucas peeked out the blinds and exclaimed, “Daddy! The shed turned into a play structure!”
So, at 7:05 a.m., we all trooped outdoors in our pjs to play on it for the first time.
Ian had finished the whole project the previous day, while Lucas was away at the Bs’ house. Instead of bringing him home at 4 p.m., we kept him away all evening until after dark, so that he wouldn’t see it until the following day.
The reveal was a glorious moment. Ian really outdid himself on this project, and impressed the hell out of me. The Domi Lama’s still got it!
We are really grateful that we have the play structure now. It was very expensive, possibly the most expensive b-day present I’ve ever heard of, but worth every penny, I think. (RoRo and my parents all pitched in to help pay for it. Thank you, family!!) I think Lucas and Asher will both get tons of good play out of it. And it has an attractive design, so I don’t mind looking at it in my back yard.
So, thank you, Super Dad. You’re the BEST!!!!
Here’s the picture from Adventure Playsets.

wow, that thing is cool! Definitely a good purchase. Lucas looks so much like his daddy in some of these pictures. Happy kid.

That is so amazingly awesome I don’t know where to begin. I love it that his gift had a “reveal.” Parents with a sense of dramatic tension = the best!

Well, it was meant to have a reveal, but then he peeked through the blinds before we were even out of bed! Still, hearing his exclaimation of wonder, as though a fairy godmother transformed the thing during the night, made it all worthwhile.
