For the kids' birthdays this year Mom got them all a new playhouse for the backyard. Their birthdays aren't until later this summer, but the most beautiful playhouse came to Costco last month, and we couldn't resist it! Last Sunday I decided that I would build the playhouse (without manly assistance), and I figured it would take a little while so I started nice and early at around 1:00 in the afternoon. At 7:00pm I was dirty, my hands ached from the dumb little allen wrench (It came in the box and you have to use it to screw in everything. No cushy screw drivers here.) but the playhouse was complete! I am very proud of myself, but irritated because a project that time consuming should have a warning label that says something about Ikea on the box.
Jack found some rocks to decorate the playhouse with.
Colin is an enthusiastic flower picker, and filled his bucket with more playhouse decorations.

I don't think I can show this post to Molly, she will be so jealous! They adore this house, and our Costco had the nerve to put it up on a shelf where the kids can't play in it, or trash it, anymore. It was the highlight of their Costco trips!
I am so impressed that you were able to build that house by yourself. It looks like you did a wonderful job. It is a cool house.
Hey, I think Jack's fly is open in that picture. What kind of a mom are you anyway? Your turning him into a flasher!
