Today the girls said goodbye to their play set. It was much harder for all of us than I expected.
Honey said "my weekend hangout with my friends is gone", Peanut said "can we tell him to put it back together".
While I watched it being dismantled I couldn't help but to think that this is it, they're all grown up.
We have given it to our little cousins, Anthony and Bailey, and I know that they will get 10 years of fun and memories out of just like my girls have but we still can't help but to be sad.
Honey will be getting in her own car and driving to find her own fun in just a few months and Peanut is always on the go and has moved onto older types of entertainment. Honestly, the main reason I made the decision to get rid if it was because the dogs run and play in the sand more than the girls and then track it into the house and scratch the floors. It was not an easy decision by any means!
This has forced me to look back on all the fun times we had on the play set over the past 10 years and has served as a great reminder that I cannot stop time. I have just a few short years before Honey is gone and then Peanut will be where Honey is now. I have to say I have a knot in my throat and an uneasy stirring in my tummy!
I love you girls!
Happy Monday Y'all!

Oh my gosh, that is so sad! I just looked out at our swing set {though it's no where NEAR as nice as yours, lol} and I cannot imagine the day that I'll no longer have a use for it.
Love that picture of them. So sweet.
This makes ME have a weird feeling in my tummy too. Sadness.
Aw, you're killing me. Those are lucky little cousins, but it just seems SO symbolic. Sweet post. Sad day. I don't want to be reminded that we can't stop time! **SOB**
Awww, I'm sad too. Sad, but cute pic of them looking out the window saying goodbye. Kids just grow up too fast!
That would make me sad, too. Glad that the cousins are going to get to enjoy it, though.
Oh. my. goodness ..... I'm speechless. Sounds dumb coming from me, but Lordy, I am!
I don't even want to THINK about that day coming! I have a good while before it comes, but I know it's down the road a bit. At least you're keeping it in the family :)
Awe that is a sad day! BUT, it is also a happy one too... just think of all the amazing times to come & memories to be made by your little cousins. :)
Good call to pass it on, but it's hard to make changes sometimes.
Awww...this post got me all choked up! Time does fly by way too fast. Boo...
