My visiting teacher came over today and she phrased the typical -"Is there anything you need help with?" question in a way that made me say yes. She asked me to name one thing I would like to get accomplished today. I had brought this large box home from work a couple of weeks ago planning on making it into a playhouse for Tripp. It had been sitting on the guest bed the whole time taking up space (and probably would have stayed there a lot longer if it wasn't for my VT). She told me to pull it out and we went to work. It was a lot more enjoyable making the house with someone. Here is what we came up with:
I didn't make the door large enough so he always hits his head on the top of the door frame.
Back window
Side window
other side window

Tripp has been playing with it nonstop. So if you need any gift ideas, get a big box. Inexpensive and lots of fun. Making this house reminds me of a house my mom made for us several years ago when my sisters and I were little. Her's was more blinged out than mine. She painted it to look just like a real house with flower pots under the windows and everything. I enjoy reliving those memories with my son. Thanks mom for the awesome idea!

WOW! That is one of the coolest box houses that I have ever seen! Hey you could still paint it, or you and trip could color it together with markers! You know I haven't talked to you in a while so I think I will call you right Now!
P.S. I like your Altoid muscle man picture on the wall!
How fun! E would love a box house more than all of her toys for sure!
that is such a great idea to use on my VT-ees. Cute.
