After six months of careful planning, designing and building....Chateau La Wee One is finally done! I have to say, it is just adorable. The pics do not do it justice. Today John put the swing up, then we put the carpeting in. I am very happy with the way it came out....even if I have rug burns on my legs! As you can see, the girls also tested out the swing, and it works just fine....JB and I tried it too....but there is no documented evidence of us having done so....lol.
Today was absolutely gorgeous. It never got above 68, and was cloudy all day. When we got home from church I changed into shorts and went outside to work. It was like I was awakening from hibernation! I re-mulched half of the backyard, planted an entire flat of flowers and vacuumed the swimming pool. Oh the joy of working in semi-fall like weather....it was like God was chewing Dentyne and breathed on me his refreshing, minty breath of autumn!
We did take a break, John and I, and went to Steak n Shake for lunch (the girls had gone shopping and to lunch with my mom). I had to choose between the double fudge shake and the caramel apple shake. I was in a chocolatey mood today, so I got the fudge. Can we say Mmmmmm? Very, very good. Last year Sonic had a caramel apple shake that was wonderful, but they don't have it this year. I'm disappointed. I was looking forward to it....kind of like when McDonald's has their Shamrock shakes. I love those things....
Wee one just finished up the last of her homework for the weekend, as did Betsy. John is relaxing in front of the tv with a trucking movie, and I'm getting ready to call it a day and enjoy an hour of DH. When I was at Betsy's eye appointment the other day, I downloaded a wallpaper for my phone....I now have the approving smile of Bree VanDeKamp looking up at me every time I make a call. We obsessive-compulsive cleaning maniacs need to stick together you know....

It's just amazing how great that turned out...a little girls dream house...I bet they have many a good time in there...
And by the way, I love your daughters hair color...I'm partial to dark hair anyway, but I think she looks like a real beauty!
That is one cool tree house.
It's even nicer than Pee Wee's!
Wow!
Hats off to the builder(s).

I love the treehouse! I showed Justin and all he could say was WOW! That is pure talent right there! He now wants to build the girls a little play house in the back yard grounded of course lol. I want a tree house of my own! My own little clean resort that has a secret mom hand shake and jackets lol!
That tree house is absolutely AMAZING!!!!!!!!! I think you should submit it to one of those Home Decorating magazines or something! WOW!!!! John should definately give himself a pat on the back for that incredible work he did! I would be doing my homework in there and never would come out. Did you put a little futon in there too so that it can be a true getaway house? LOL! I think John should make a sign with "Chateau La Wee One" on it, don't you?! PERFECT! Oh, and I can really see Betsy's black hair in that photo. She looks like Amy Lee, the lead singer of Evanescense. Don't worry, it's a compliment. I sortof like it. Bad me, bad me!!!! :)
Hugs and love,
Lisa

Hey, I'm not even showing my kids those photos, cuz my husband can hardly lift a hammer.
I just noticed today how you re-wrote your "about me" space, and called Percy your guardian angel... How SWEET!!! Brought a tear to my eye. That entire story was just so touching.

awesome job to hubby on the treehouse. And BTW I think Betsy's hair looks pretty good. . . Are you liking it better these days? Cya, Kris
The pics did it justice just fine...a labor of love speaks for itself! Terrific job! What a great gift from Father to daughter...she'll remember it for years and years to come.
