The arrival of the PLAYHOUSE

AnaSofia is a mini celebrity in these parts due to our DAILY walks, runs and bike rides to the lake and different boat landings. Our charm is likely due to the fact that we do these trips in the rain, sleet and snow - it is NECESSARY for us to get outside! She has scored use of the neighbors jungle gym, endless popsicles and lollipops and lots of dog and cat time with everyone's pets. We recently met some new "neighbors" (a mile down the road) who have a FANTASTIC playhouse in their backyard that I have always admired. I mentioned how much I liked it and they immediately offered it up to us if we could get it out of their yard. AnaSofia and I were so excited. She spent the next hour playing in it while I talked to our new friends for awhile. Later that day we told Far about it all and made him bike down with us to check it out. I wanted it IMMEDIATELY (yes, I have an immediacy addiction!) but Soren, as usual (ha ha!), rained on my parade and said it was REALLY big and would require a lot of work. SO FINALLY we were able to get it when my parents came up last weekend. I guess it is pretty huge - ha ha! A solid wood built 5 x 8 structure. Our girl is so happy with it! We are working on flower boxes, staining it maybe (any suggestions?) and making it a little home on the inside.

Soren contemplating - where the hell am I going to put this thing?!

Someone else was watching the backyard production!

The playhouse has a new home!

AnaSofia was so excited to wake up from naptime and find the playhouse outside!

the playhouse looks awesome, so much fun. It looks like it has always been there in that final picture! It is the perfect place for tea parties!

Nana and Boppa had such a good time visiting and helping move the playhouse to it's new home. I hope we can come back soon and "play" with AnaSofia in her new "digs". We miss you!
Love,
Nana

Wow what a cute playhouse. It makes the child in me want to grab all my friends and play house again just like old times. I think to make it her little home you should definately have AnaSofia paint sign on it saying that its all hers. You are great parents.
