The Playhouse is Finished!

Adam completed the playhouse this past weekend with much help from Jeff and a couple of past-midnight work sprees (those guys are crazy!). The hard work is evident in the beautiful results of the finished house. Take a look...

Here is an outside view where you can see the red, front, "dutch" door (it's split in half so that you can close the bottom, but open the top). You can also see the nice, tiny gutter at the edge of the roof...no detail was spared! Ava was happy to show her cousin, Caleb around her playhouse while each was dressed in their costume in preparation for Halloween a few days later.


Here you get a look inside and can see the little window air-conditioning unit (that'll come in handy this summer!), the play kitchen that I got to move out of my formal living area and the pretty pergo floors.

Here is a view from inside the playhouse looking out the door where you can see the interior light switch and the front porch light switch.

Way to go, Daddy! Ava and I couldn't be more proud of Adam! The first night after it was finished, the three of us spent a cozy evening inside the playhouse watching one of Ava's movies on her portable DVD player. The next night she and Adam hung out in there (with a space heater plugged in) while Ava pretended to make cookies and bacon and peanut butter sandwiches (ugh...yum) for Daddy. Be sure to check back soon to see the next post which will be about all the fun she had having trick-or-treaters come to her playhouse to get candy!
