Best Five Dollars Ever Spent

I'm not above spending money on my children, but isn't it so true that the amount of money spent in no way correlates to the enjoyment you get from an object?

Case in point, last weekend, my husband and I were driving by a garage sale, stopped and bought this old swing for five bucks. It's faded and weathered and definitly looks used...it's not going to win any beauty contests. But we took it home to my brother's and hung it on his porch, and I can't even begin to tell you how much fun our kids had in it. No object has made them happier.

It's going to go in the apple tree in our backyard...is going to bring hours of delight.

Happy Labor Day weekend to everyone!!! We're going car camping with five-month-olds (and the swing)...wish us luck!
