Time is marching by so quickly lately - I can hardly believe that Meghan is turning two in two weeks! I've been working really hard on this little project on Craigslist lately.
We really wanted to give her a new playhouse for Christmas but couldn't justify spending the money on a new one. We've been watching them on craigslist since then hoping to score one....and sure enough, we finally found an adorable one and snagged it at a fantastic price. I am so excited I can hardly stand it, however Manny looks at me like I'm crazy for being so excited about something so weird. Maybe it is silly, but I just keep seeing years of glossy memories of all 3 kids playing in it (yep - even Matt kind of likes it!). A big thanks to Grandma for helping make this possible - we girls understand nostalgia even though it's still in imaginative form, don't we?
Craigslist is great!!! So many great things....however I think it's stressful when you find something that you really want and obsessively check your email waiting for a response LOL. I was sure someone was going to snatch this one out from under us! I might have let air out of some tires for this find!
Our tremendous score (seriously - this thing retailed for about $400 and we picked it up for under $100):
I'm thinking about trying to find/fashion some silk or plastic flowers for her little flower boxes in the front of her house.....hopefully I can pull that off myself.
Here's to hoping the kids enjoy it as much as I think they will!
