OK, Mindy Kaling’s Brand-New Swing Set Is Giving Us Major Backyard Envy

Mindy Kaling's 17-month-old daughter, Katherine (Kit for short), is one lucky lady.

Kaling shared a Boomerang and photo on Instagram of her baller new swing set and all we can say is, we're mighty jealous.

The Late Night actress wrote, "All I’ve ever wanted for my kid is to have 'the fun house.' Remember that one friend that had the coolest backyard and everyone wanted to hang out there all the time? Well, now I’m the cool parent with the cool backyard. Thanks @cedarworksplay!" (For what it's worth, we totally remember that one friend. Wonder what she's up to these days...) 

The swing set features three swings, a slide and plenty of room to climb and play. The brand she called out, CedarWorks, is a Rockport, Maine-based business that specializes in indoor and outdoor swing sets, playsets, playhouses and beds. 

Even before having this next-level swing set at her disposal, Katherine was already living the high life with some very fancy pals. Kaling told PureWow exclusively, “Katherine has met Oprah! She was 3 months old and we did a showing of A Wrinkle in Time at her house in Santa Barbara and I brought Katherine. She was crying and I was so mortified and then she walked into the promised land, which is Oprah’s house, and she completely shut up. I was very proud of her.” So cute. 

By the way, Mindy, mission accomplished: You definitely have the fun house.
