But we had a refreshing change from the usual "pear-shapedness" during our swing set project. As it turned out, it was actually cheaper than we had originally thought it would be, AND the cost was completely covered by donations from home! (Thanks guys!)
The swing set is now successfully installed at Mercy Home, and the kids are crazy about it. It was definitely something they were really missing here. Kids are kids, no matter where they grow up. Can you imagine a school in Canada without anything for kids to play on? No swing set? We'd sue. So, needless to say, the kids are over the moon, and there is always a very long lineup to get a try. I tried them for the first time the other day, and they are indeed very fun.
We had a man from Kipsongo do all of the welding and constructing, and then David, my Gramma and I all painted it.
I don't have any pictures of the finished project, but here's two of it in the making.

I love the illistration of pear shaped days...lol. I am glad the swing set was such a successful project, I am sure the children are really enjoying it :-) My growing up would not have been complete without swings. ;-)
Love you!

P.S. You should change the date of the date stamp on your camera or remove it all together, because it is going to be really annoying when you look back on mis stamped pictures...I speak only from experience ;-)
