We picked up a swing at IKEA last April when we were in Utah. And it has sat in the packaging in the basement ever since. Doug decided to hang it up last night and oh what fun they are having!
I don't think we'll ever want to finish the basement at this rate. Where would we put the bounce castle? The tents? Tunnels? Punching bag? And now the swing? (and for that matter, where would i put all of our miscellaneous crap? Where would i throw the stuff i don't know what to do with blindly down the stairs?). Not to mention they can ride their bikes and scooters down there in the winter (which is fast approaching!).
I found myself singing "Superman" by REM while the boys were belly-swinging (which we refer to as "Superman-ing it" [go figure]) but i had to stop singing it after the second line which is, "I am, I am, I am Superman, and i can do anything." The next verse just isn't age-appropriate!
Our old king-sized mattress has come in handy (and the nicely padded walls!). Now if Keegen could just remember to NOT stand up right after he falls off since the swing is still swinging...

Love the pictures. Bode needs to teach Keegen the escape roll after falling off the swing.
Don't worry, I don't think there is any chance we are going to finish the basement anytime soon.
I just wish the swing was big enough for me.
Looks like a ton-o-fun!!
What fun! You guys are the coolest parents ever!
That looks AWESOME. Hey, don't finish the basement if it works for you!
