The House that Daddy built!

We decided to get the girls a house to play with in the back yard.  We originally wanted a swing set, but haven't had much luck finding what we want for a reasonable price, plus....  they aren't at the age yet where it would allow them to play independently....  i.e. without the Mama, who wants to shoo them out the door in the afternoons/evenings so I can make dinner now that the weather is nice.  The house is a win-win.  They can use their little imaginations and play all kinds of things with the house.  It's already been a school, doctor's office, store and neighbor's house.

We got the house from Carrefour Planet, which is like a Super Target.  It was completely disassembled.... and when we laid all the pieces out to match up with the instructions, we determined, based on the instructions that we were missing 5 pieces, and had 2 extras.  So I went up to the store and was able to to come home with the "missing" pieces.  Turns out, after assembly, some of the missing pieces weren't really  missing.... the instructions were wrong.  But oh well!

It ended up being fairly easy to assemble.  But we're pretty sure the wood is not treated....  so we decided to paint.  We have a few more things to touch up, and I want to look around Hobby Lobby this summer to find some decorations...... but other then that....Voila!

The girls love it!
