Playhouse

My mother-in-law generously offered to buy a playhouse for the girls.  Sophie and I spent some time looking at many, many playhouses online, showed Brian our favorites and we all picked one out.

It arrived Thursday and we enlisted the help of a neighbor, also named Brian, to go with my Brian up to Walmart to pick it up in his truck.  The box was so big it took up the entire bed of the truck!

Friday night I began putting the house together.  It wasn't too hard as each wall was one piece of the giant puzzle.  The front of the house has a full size door with cut out windows.  It also has a little planter, a mail slot, and a working doorbell!  (Lydia spent a good 10 minutes just standing in front of the house ringing the bell).

The two side walls have windows with shutters (The side wall picture, shows our friend Jack).  The back wall has a large window that holds a folding table/stove/grill.  The table folds in to be a stove and out to be a grill.  There is also a clock, two little shelves, a phone, and a mirror inside.  I must say this playhouse provides a lot for a good price.  The playhouse does not have a floor, but we're keeping it on the patio, so that will provide the floor.

Monday we went out and bought a few toys specifically for the outdoors and for Sophie and Lydie's new house.  We bought a few dishes, a small plastic tea set, a basket of food, a watering can and a dog bowl.  Sophie said her dog, Anna, might get thirsty.  For around $20 these additions really make the house.

Now Sophie said all they need are beds!  Um, I think we'll skip those!

Love,
Michelle
