Our New Climbing Frame..!!

We've been noticing the boys hanging off the edge of tables and chairs and wherever they can and just hanging there... They seem to enjoy doing that... *roll eyes*

So we went online to search for a simple climbing frame. I love this one we bought because you can increase the height as the kids grow and it also has extra add ons if you wish to give it more obstacles. Plus I wanted something we could just leave outside without having to worry about any wood rotting, etc....



This one is a basic frame which is suitable for kids from 3 years old onwards.

It's very sturdy and actually quite simple to put together. Honestly, when we recieved the box and I saw all the parts I wanted to cry...it just looked impossible to set up. But the trick is to only deal with it when your in the mood, in a good mood and when the kids are asleep!

The funny thing was that Sam wanted me to wait for him because he said he wanted to put it together. So I thought ok... but then I thought if I had to wait for him I'd be waiting all year!! And I needed to get this thing up so that the kids could play with it. So I went ahead and assembled it myself...hehe. When Sam came home I said that he could help stick the hook pegs in the ground to secure the frame... so I went off and left it to him to do. When I got back it was as if nothing had moved and I found him inside the house watching TV!!
I said, "Sam, have you done it??"

He says, "I can't get the pegs in.."

and I say,"Whaddaya mean u can't??!?"

then he says, "It's not possible.."

then I say, "did you read the instructions??"

bla bla bla....long winded explaination....

then we both went outside to fix 'the problem'. And then I showed him another way to fix the pegs and it was done...!!

Serisously, I don't know what MEN in general would do without WOMEN!!

Then my closing statement was, "SAM..!! You're an engineer for Godsake!!!??!?! ....Oh my days!"... again couldn't help but *roll my eyes*

After putting this frame together I just felt so proud..hehhehe... told my neighbours that I did it, NOT Sam...hahhahehehhehe....

Aaaawwww... that's cute..... :)

Kash loves it!!! Oh and during this time Nawi was fast asleep but he loves it too... He spent hours just hanging on the bars, falling to the ground and repeating again and again. I woke up today with all my muscles sore!

That's proud lil' ol' me.....

Gaining confidence....

This frame is called a "TP Challenger Metal Climbing Frame".
