Their bridge

They have ran inside the house a few times and told me about a "bridge" they were building.....I figured this bridge was made out of dirt....boy was I wrong. Mckaylee just came and told me to come look at their bridge....I went and looked and they have taken the 2 by 4 things from a planter around some trees and they have stretched them accross the yard......

Calimama replied:
Me too!

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Cute!! We need pictures!

grandma replied: cute!

mckayleesmom replied: Well...Im sitting right there on the couch....I can see their heads....Its a couple steps down...so I didn't see that they were actually using the wood from the planters.....The backyard is completely fenced in.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: My kids play outside by themselves, too. We have a huge kitchen window that looks out into the backyard and I can see/hear them at all times. We also have a tall wooden privacy fence and the gate is padlocked. It's safe. If it weren't I wouldn't let them out there.

Mckaylee and Russell fight with each other so much that I can hear them too....We don't have privacy fence though. Mckaylee is also usually singing...so you can't miss her.

luvmykids replied: Mine play outside without me sometimes, but I have to check on them so often that it's not worth it, I may as well just go out too

We have plenty of room and are totally fenced...but thats just the problem, there are too many places they can wander off and get into trouble

Same here.


But that is too funny and cute.

punkeemunkee'smom replied: Tay can't play outside by herself either but she can sit on the porch to pet Spot only if the door is open and I am in the livingroom

As for the bridge-that is alot of work for 2 little ones! Taylor makes 'inventions' like that all the time but Bill or I are always roped into helping!

A&A'smommy replied: thats funny!!!

Hillbilly Housewife replied: I'd be pretty upset if my kids took apart some planters... lol

i can't let mine out alone either. My yard is completely fenced in and padlocked too... but it only takes ME 5 seconds to jump the fence. If I can do it, some pedophile will have no problem...they have motivation.
