Wems... here are the plans for one of those tables if you know someone who could put it together?

Kids picnic table free plans

Oh thanks Ruth

Now having a dad as a builder you would think it would be easy BUT do I want them this Christmas or next Christmas

Maybe I could build a few of them they look easy

i could do it at Mum's

There are also patterns there for larger ones... not sure how small that one is... it might be tiny... but I was just thinking the same... I could build that! (Well maybe not, but it looks quite simple )

What you could do, is to start making it yourself (or at least buy the pine and print out the plans) and then ask your dad to come and give you some tips... hee hee. Then sit back and watch him whip it up in 1/2 hour

A climbing wall would be brilliant, my kidlets would love that.

Dad has a pool table that never gets used and they have had a removable jarrah top on it for years. Mum uses it for scrapbooking most of the time, which means when the Grandies go over to visit the little hands can't reach things and she doesn't have to pack it all away. I go over there when I have a heap of material to cut up (it was great when I made curtains for DS room!) and us girls use it as a change table for the kids. When they have a lot of people over it serves as a large table to put all of the food on and for people to eat around.

For Christmas we are going to get the kids a swing set between them as they have soooo many toys inside, and will not doubt get even more this year from the relatives. We usually get them books, a keepsake Christmas ornament and some clothes too. Not sure what else they 'need', maybe some colouring in stuff? I might get my sisters to go in together and get them an easel with a blackboard and some paper and some paint pots (and plastic aprons ) that can be used outside. Mum and Dad have so far got them an In the Night Garden cuddle pillow each (Luke has Iggle Piggle and Lauren is getting Upsy Daisy). DH side of the family normally give money.
