The Playhouse

I've written about my cousins before - the ones that grew up two doors down from us. My siblings and I spent many of our formative years playing in their back yard. They had a trampoline, zip line, and AWESOME playhouse complete with heating and cooling systems. Since grandchildren have come along the playhouse has been updated from its former 'country' style to a more modern Melissa and Doug look.

While visiting my family for T-day, Stephen Small has certainly put his time in at this little house. Its so perfect and childproof. I've considered shutting him up in there and reading a book or taking a nap on the front porch. We played here for one solid hour yesterday and had ourselves the largest time!

{The play house matches the real house.}

{S. Small made hamburgers}

{He went straight for the ketch up and put it on his 'burger' - a boy after my own heart. That shows you how much ketch up we eat at our house. We love it!}

{My cousin made these quilted valences. Its the details like this that make the house so charming.}

{Oh and this ironing board - have you ever seen anything so cute?}

{I'm teaching him to be a good husband one day. This one is going in the rehearsal dinner file.}

 I love my sweet boy.
Stephen Grande has to build us one of these...one day.
