I don't know how much of this you ended up buying
already, but here it is from the beginning:
We already had this little tikes baby swing:

And then we went to Lowe's and bought eye bolts,
carabiners, this swing
http://www.lowes.com/lowes/lkn
and this trapeze bar

I paid more for the extra duty versions because I
wanted to be able to use them too. When you buy the
eye bolts and carabiners, make sure the load limits
are appropriate for who you want to be able to use
them.
I wish I would have spaced things out evenly from the
beginning. Initially, I only thought I was going to
hang a swing for Adam. And I think if I were to do it
over again, I would buy two big swings and skip the
trapeze bar. Swings are just so much better. I
spaced the bolts on the big swing out far enough so we
can also use them for Paul's pull up bar. I need to
try out the hammock from Brazil he gave me too. Just
think about all the different uses you are going to
use the bolts for the space them appropriately.
Okay, and as far as other things go...
This is my favorite booster seat:

We bought ours on amazon, but not from that same
seller, so you'll want to look around. They just came
out with a high back version, but they cost more $$.
After looking online I will go with the bigger Baby
Bjorn Potty when we get one. I might get a smaller
one to keep in a separate bathroom?
Hmmm...what else did you ask about? Slides are great
toys. I want to get one for Adam this summer. This
ride on is great too:

I think we ordered ours from Target; nobody carries
them in-store, so don't bother looking. There is
another toy Adam plays with every single day, that we
would buy for Talmage's birthday if I didn't have to
ship it. You can see it here:

but we bought it at Walmart for $10 because Fred had
it too.
You will soon be an expert in kid toys too. Toys
really are important, and I don't want a whole house
full of them, so I am picky with what I get. Oh, and
when your kids are coordinated enough (age 3 or so)
get Razor scooters for them. They are the cheapest,
most durable, most portable, outside toy around. You
can take them with you anywhere and they have the same
make-your-kid tired effect as the trampoline. Height
isn't as much of an issue because you can actually
slide the handle down low enough that someone Adam's
size can ride. (He loves to be scooted around on them
too.)
