Christopher, being the amazing dad that he is, had this great idea. He wanted to build the girls an indoor play house. He's a genius because its too cold to play outside most days and Lorelei and Addison are at such a fun make believe sort of age. They make houses out of anything they can while taking turns being mommy and baby. They play house together every day and its the sweetest thing.
My only problem with the play house is that it has to be in one of the common areas of the house. I don't know why, but toys in living areas really irritate me. No, I mean, it really irritates me. I'm growing though. Or at least I think I am.. or I think I want to grow. I'm not completely sure yet. However it needs to be said, I decided to just go for it. I'm going to let there be toys and kid things downstairs and I'm going to be okay with it. To show my full commitment to change and get over my ridiculousness, I decided to embrace the concept of 'go big or go home'.
So here you have a few pictures of the enormous house that now takes up a giant chunk of otherwise useless space on the far side of our living room.
Christopher did a great job building the frame so I would have something to base measurements off of

Finally starting to look like a house!
Here it is basically finished, complete with sky lights and all. Their little kitchen fits inside with plenty of room to spare for little chairs, table, baby doll stuff. You name it.
We had to move the Christmas tree out of the way to set it up where we needed it to go. The fun part is that I am going to have the girls help me make accessories to velcro to the outside, like flowers and bushes, and whatever else they want. Felt is one of the most kid friendly fabrics everywhere and I know they will love decorating the outside as well as the inside with all the fun little pieces we will come up with. I'll be sure to post those pictures as well.
