Instructions?

Instructions? Who needs instructions? Surely the three of us can figure this out on our own!
John Reagan and Evie got a trampoline for Christmas. It was not put together for Christmas morning, and John Reagan had to stare at the box for a week. When my dad came to visit on New Year's Day, Uncle Brad, Greg, and Pawpaw Donnie put the trampoline together. And according to Greg they HAD to use the instructions. The above picture was actually them getting their game plan together.
When the pieces started going together Evie had to do some womanly supervising. She was out there, "Pawpaw Donnie! Pawpaw Donnie!" She was more concerned with Pawpaw Donnie's attention than the trampoline.

Too bad this is not a close up. Just thought I would let you see Greg with a beard. The beard is gone now and so is the gotee. That is a story in itself that we will have to tell you about later.

Evie could have cared less about the trampoline, but the 3 boys were anxiously awaiting the finished product. Bless their hearts as soon as the men got the trampoline together we had to run off to Monroe.

This is the best picture I have of the finishing details. I still haven't gotten a picture of John Reagan jumping on it. Naturally after it got put together the weather around here decided to act like "real" winter weather. It has been too cold to worry about the trampoline.
Evie jumped on it once or twice. She was not a fan. John Reagan has enjoyed it as much as he can in the winter time mixed with stitches in his "boy parts" as he and Evie would call them.
The fun of parenting a boy and a girl are starting to begin. We have already separated bath time, but Evie is now on this kick of, "See my "burl parts (girl parts)!" Joy! Joy! Greg is freaking out about it. I wish I could have gotten a video of the discussion between her and Daddy about her "burl parts" the other night. Let's just say I was sitting in the chair cracking up while Greg was trying to be as serious as possible.
Good times are ahead!
