I decided to take a few night pictures. We got home from picking Betsy up at work, and decided to check out the treehouse in the dark, since JB ran all the electric today. It is so awesome! The fan works, the lights work and she has a cute little outlet in there as well. When we came out, JB pointed out the tree frog. It's the biggest one we have seen yet! They are so cute, and I had to get a pic.
Tonight we went to Lowe's and got the carpeting for the treehouse. We will lay it tomorrow and it will finally be finished. I can't tell you how wonderfully it has turned out. Even Betsy can't wait for it to get done. It's going to be a great place to escape....I'll be up there during the day while the girls are at school, talking on the phone and reading....lol.
I got some flowers to plant as well. It seems so strange planting flowers this late in the year. I got a huge flat of impatients. They spread like wildfire here, and since my backyard is mostly shade, it thrives for me. I also got some rosemary to put in a pot. I don't like to cook with it, but I love the smell of the plant. Let's see....what else did we get. Lightbulbs, carpet glue, a square battery and a monkey swing for the treehouse. I forgot about that! It's the round plastic swing, about a foot across, with one rope that goes through the middle. You can swing on it or stand on it. I remember having one as a kid, and I loved it! It was blue with a blue/orange/yellow rope. We were going to get her a tire swing but they wanted....get this....$89 for one! Sheesh. No wonder kids get no outdoor exercise anymore. It's cheaper to buy a Playstation game than a swing! LOL....
Oh yes, I should congratulate my daughter Betsy, on her VIVI award nomination....wtg sweetie, you deserve it! Let's see, that makes one nomination for Betsy, the actual winning of the award last year for wee one....and zip for mommy! LOL. I should have John start a journal....
Last night we had a pretty good storm. We lost electricity for an hour....and of course it had to be the hour that Supernanny was on! Dang it. I missed the entire thing. I hate when that happens. But, I did get to see the newest episode of Degrassi; the Next Generation. I love that show! I grew up on the original Degrassi shows which...BONUS....they are running on the-N every night at midnight! It is so funny to see a show revolving around teen angst in the 80's. It's amazing what we thought was so terrible back then, seems to be so tame now. Kids sure aren't as innocent as they were "back in the day".
Okay, I'm off to put wee one back in her room for the, oh, 100th freaking time. Sheesh....she says she can't sleep. Of course she can't....she keeps walking inhere! Nighty night....

I wish I had a tree house for myself!
I have never even heard of that Degrassi show. Guess that shows how much older than you I am huh?! I cannot wait to see the inside of the treehouse when it is done. What a treat to have a little place to go and escape to. I would have LOVED it when I was a kid. I just had a tree I would climb, but no tree house. LOL! Awww, how cute your two girls are in that picture. Wee One is getting so tall!!! And, that tree frog is adorable, I would want to pet it too. :)
Hugs and love,
Lisa

How are you going to get your vacuum up to that treehouse? LOL
Oh and speak for yourself about being innocent in the 80's. I was a mothers worst nightmare for a few years.
Impatients are so pretty I love white and red ones mixed together. But for some reason we can't ever find the red ones so I usually get stuck with white and purple.
Congrats Betsy! I checked out your journal and it is really cool!
Sherry just let me say, had I have voted in the VIVI's, I certainly would have nominated your journal. I love it, and read it faithfully. I'm not really in the JLand loop, so I read things in others journals and find myself scratching my head a lot trying to figure out who or what they're talking about. Most of the time I don't understand why people criticize others for their journal content. Of course, I feel that your journal, is what a journal was meant to be. I'd elaborate, but then I may find myself being critical of others.
Love that tree house, and that froggy is too cute.
Awww, I am so disappointed that you aren't one of the nominees cuz I voted for you and am addicted to your journal! Frog pictures are great and the "getting along" moment of the girls. I know exactly how precious it is to get one of those moments captured on film because my boys fight like cats n dogs sometimes. Hugs,
Lisa
