I will be sore...

T-Minus 18 hours and 30-ish minutes until the big birthday reveal.  Anna is having a slumber party at Jenni's house, which is was VERY excited about and Grey went with Nana for his own little party.  He wasn't excited, but not unhappy.  I don't think he minded either way.  I'm sure he'll be very spoiled when he gets home tomorrow morning.  ;)  We needed the kids out of the house so we can clean and put the trampoline together.  Anna doesn't know that she's getting it so it will be a big surprise.

Sweet Erin came over this afternoon and helped me put the trampoline together.  We got most of it done when we decided to take a break and get Grey's things together.  It looks great and is the perfect size.  Once everyone left, I decided to pull the remaining springs into place.  Man, will I be sore tomorrow!  There were 72 springs on that baby, not all of which were hard to pull, just the last ones.  And since I do no working out what so ever, my muscles  didn't know what hit them.  So now that lactic acid has flowed and now that it will slowly settle into my muscle fibers, I'll soon start to feel it.  It will be totally be worth every bit of sore muscle to see the look on Anna's face when we open the back door tomorrow.

My husband and I will still have to put the enclosure on tonight, so pray that we don't kill each other...since both of our witnesses are gone.  Ha!   We don't work well together...most of the time.  But I think it will be fine.  :)  

And yes, I've already jumped on it.
