Playhouse (part one)

WARNING: Letting your girls pick the color of their playhouse and paint it themselves can result in a startling pepto bismal color, lots of spills and two *very* happy little girls!!!

Over our staycation Kenny decided he wanted to do a project for the kiddos. We decided we couldn't do a new playset this year, but the kids had started asking for a tree house, which got Kenny to thinking. After looking at some plans we both agreed that instead of building something new, we'd make something we had even better! The people before us built a nice sized shed in the backyard, conveniently located near all the kids outdoor toys. Although at first Kenny was a little reluctant to give up his shed, he got on board pretty quickly and was very excited to make the shed into a playouse for the girls.

Kenny did a really great job drywalling the playhouse and mudding it. That left the walls all ready for the girls to paint!!! I really wanted them to pick out the color themselves and of course, it was pink! It is quite pink! And painting was a mess! But the girls are thrilled, and it was pretty cute to see them so happy. So this is the beginning of the "Pinkalicious Playhouse"...more updates to come soon!

How cute! I love the color they picked, go figure it would be pink. Drew just got a new bedroom, and talk about letting kids pick the colors, we let a 3 year old... so the walls are Home Depot ORANGE & derby RED - yeppers.... with sports wall stickers, and one wall curious george. It actually turned out awesome, but people thought we were crazy letting a 3 year old pick! Guess we just love our kids lots!
