Our cute little playhouse (conclusion)

 So here she is, our cute little playhouse finally refinished! I think it turned out well and the kids (young and old) agree!

 

When the topic was first brought up about relocating the playhouse to our house, the #1 rule that we had to follow was, we needed to put it in a spot where they "kids" could play Eenie Aye Over. Mark and his sisters, spent hours playing this game, so we had to allow the tradition to carry on...so of course, we made sure that could happen.

The above video is how Mark remembered playing it...after a discussion with his sisters, they never really told him the "official" rules...hmm, maybe his sisters weren't so nice to their little brother 30+ years ago.

 

 This past weekend, all of Mark's sisters were in town, Tracie and Julie had to come see the playhouse. The best way to describe how they acted when they got to our house...they were like a kid on Christmas morning! They never even stepped foot into our real house, they just went straight to the playhouse! I couldn't even get a good picture of this, because they just kept moving around looking at it. So I think they are happy to see it redone and in a place where new memories will be made,

 Mark's Aunt Alice, makes beautiful quilts and "quilt like" things. (Every child in the family receives a special quilt when they are born. They become very special blankets.) I don't know how she got this done so quickly, but this weekend she gave this to us. It will be hung on our wall...as soon as Mark and I come to an agreement on where to hang it.



I think the best part of the wall hanging is what Aunt Alice put on the back. Mark was less than a month old when the playhouse was originally built, so his sisters always called it, "The Doll House." When it was Mark's turn, he called it, "The Fort." Now we have started to call it, "The Play House." Just another quite story about this sweet little house.
