Play House

The kids just love the play house that Daddy built for them last summer. I don't know how I managed to get it painted, but I did. My sister and Emmie helped me paint the walls and then I got a crazy idea to paint every window a different color. It's pretty cute....and Sophia and Daniel love to play in it. We usually head out there every morning after we take our walk. It's nice and cool and I have a fan in there too. All the windows go up so we can get a cool breeze from the lake. Down at one end we have the little TV w/DVD, the little kitchen, a pull out Dora couch and a little table to do puzzles at or whatever. At the other end is a long art table where we keep crayons, stickers, colored pencils, foam stickers, art pads, paint, bins that we keep all our stuff in and our Boom Box for when we want to shake our Booty!
Thank you Daddy...we wub it! ;)

Oh, Steffanie.... it is precious... what sweet childhood memories they will have remembering their special place Daddy built and Mommy painted. Love the different colored windows. Just darling.
Next time you talk to hubby and cub I will think thier lives will have changed... I went to a concentration camp in Germany when I was 14 when I was in Europe for 2 weeks and the memories still haunt me. however it is a reality that I feel everyone should be aware of. You could still smell the stench of burnt human flesh in the rooms they used as ovens. And the photographs of so many people who suffered such evil. May the world never forget the absolute horror of what the Nazis did. Heartbreaking...

What a cute play house. Even better that it was built and painted with love. I am sure that phone call was a great booster.

How cute is that! What a great place to keep all those big toys that take up so much space in the house. Down here is south Louisiana, however, we would be dying from the heat! The paint is too cute!

Lindsey said...

It is adorable!! How cool that the little ones have a place of their own!!

insanemommy said...

Hey, who does your man build for? Or does he do his own thang? I know you said he was a builder... Ya know I sell new homes. JUST NEW HOMES. Nothing else. I swear...

Amy said...

That's the nicest play house I've ever seen. I live in Germany, I hope they have a great time there.

Steffie:

What is your address - we are coming for a long visit. The house is so perfect for little munchkins to get lost in and not have to worry where they are. I only have one word for Sophia and Emmie - LUCKY!!!

Awesome playhouse -- I think it's time for a playdate!

So sorry I missed your birthday -- we were out exploring, hiking and experiencing the great outdoors, Yellowstone style! Yeah, we're the dorks who brought an 18 month old to Yellowstone & the Grand Tetons, what of it?

Anyway, it looks like your birthday was a hit, even though I missed it. You've got a great hubby & daughter. I'm sure you miss them like crazy...

Pam said...

That is an awesome play house. I need to learn how to build one for Hannah. She would love it.

PandaMom said...

Girl, you're comments are getting so numerous you're gonna forget the little people!!! Please don't stop visiting me!! ; ) LOL! How do you have time to visit all the people who comment?!

LOVE the playhouse!

Did I miss WHY Emmie and David are in Europe? Is this a traditional trip or something?

Carey said...

I LOVE the colors...what fun!

kerri said...

My jaw just dropped, play house envy up here north of the border.
We love your playhouse girls, so special. Thanks for sharing!!

Dannye said...

hubby is quite talented....what an amazing playroom...heck what an amazing home you guys have anyway...thanks for inviting us in to see it!!!

Kim said...

Just catching up...Happy Belated Birthday!!! Hope all your wishes came true!

Aaaah sweet summertime, I love all your photos of your backyard - the playhouse has the same shelves that we got for Jaiden - we even chose the same colors of drawers.

Hope that Daniel is feeling better - what a scare that must have been.

Hope Emmie and David are having a great time in Europe! Lucky girl! What's with the comments from rude people? She's such a sweetie, how could anyone be so mean?!

Love the shot of the girls in the pink Caddie! Tooo cute!

Seeing photos of the "Things" are making me thing about another...yikes! Gotta get a reality check - Jaiden is sometimes more than enough attitude, don't know if I could survive another one :) You are a wonderfully STRONG and COURAGEOUS woman and you have a great big heart!

Diana said...

I wanna live there!


BTW, I tagged you, (so sorry), but now that I've seen this can't wait for the rest.

I love the playhouse!!! I bet the kids have a blast out there. I would love to have one seperate from the house like that. I have been looking at ideas for a playhouse for Mallory and her future little mei mei. Thanks for sharing.
