This playhouse has become an obsession for both of us! And while Kim's end is winding down, my end is just getting going. I painted the exterior of it on Friday. Shoulda been faster than it was, but those trees that we love around it were very much in the way! And the ground was very lumpy and bumpy and so I had to level it out so that I could wedge my way up (between the tree and the fort) to the second floor and paint the outside and upper trim which is about 14 feet up there...so it took all day. Now that the sheet rock is done, I can figure out what to do with paint and apply it on the interior walls. Then theres the drapes and couch to make...and it goes on. We are both excited about it...and end up thinking about it instead of what we should be doing at times. Probably we're much more excited about it than the grandkids for sure for now. Hopefully their excitement will grow when they are a little older! One thing is for sure. I don't think either Kim or I had any real notion of how much work this would take before it got started...but we keep thinking up new ideas to improve it, and so it goes...

She would tinkle a tiny bit and then ask to go again 5-10 mins later all day long! Finally I was trying to make dinner and after being interrupted twice by her asking me to go (meanwhile my sick little Lydia cries hard when I leave the room with Kiera and if I bring her with she rolls around our nasty bathroom floor). So she came up and asked again “tinkles, mommy!” So I broke down and busted out the little potty and put her in front of the TV on it. I then picked up Lydia and nursed the poor little thing to sleep. Kiera tinkled quite and bit and was quite pleased with her self and pulled out the tray beneath the potty that holds the tinkles before I could stop her (I don’t run very fast when I’m holding a sleeping baby).
