The End of an Era (sort of)

Well, it finally happened.

Two things, actually.

When my kiddo outgrew her crib (like 7 years ago) and went into a big bed, we moved her to a bigger bedroom in the house. For the longest time, we kept the "baby room" as is hoping I'd get pregnant again and have the room ready for the second one.
But that never happened.

So...last week we finally took away the crib, the Snoopy border, and painted it Cooled Blue from Sherwin Williams.
<--We plan on making it an extra office for moi/Wii room/kiddo's art room. :-)


The other thing that happened is...we got rid of our swing set.

*gasp*

It hasn't really been used in about 2 years, but still...the yard looks so barren now. So life-changing.

What are we going to replace the swing set with?

Hmm...I really don't know. I'm still trying to get over the swing set being gone. An end of an era.
NO more little girl. Sniff, sniff.

Kiddo apparently has moved on already.
She suggested replacing the swing set with a POOL, a PUPPY, or a HOT TUB.

Really? Wow, thanks. What choices. Gee, they all sound...

TERRIBLE!!

 I'm leaning toward puppy or hot tub, but I can't tell you how many people are trying to talk me into a small pool. But as much as it would THRILL the kiddo, I'm not sure it would still be used once she is in college. That means I'd have about...8 years of real use. Hmm...

What do you think? If you had the means, what would you choose, POOL, PUPPY, or HOT TUB?
