A work in progress.

I apologize to everyone who has been checking my blog for updates, but its spring, it almost feels like summer and yard work is now on the priority list,which is now my job because Carpenter has a more pressing issue.
A few years ago, when that TV show, Extreme Make-over Home edition came out, we saw an episode where they hallowed out an actual tree trunk and turned it into a tree fort. Inspired, my husband promptly grabbed the graph paper and began designing a special tree fort for the girls.

I have since stopped watching that show, because I become a crying idiot within the first 15 minutes, and of course that just makes my husband laugh and make fun of me. Apparently God found it necessary to create me with an ultra sensitive side. But back to the tree house.

There are no trees in our back yard strong enough or big enough to hold a tree fort or build it around it, so Carpenter built the tree first, and then a deck will be added and finally a little house.There will be a ladder, slide and rock climbing wall, at least that's the plan. Hopefully it will be finished before the end of summer.
This is when I realized the power my girls have over their Father, especially Jules. She has been begging and pleading him, and of course offering to help. The tree fort is being built before my bathroom is redone, or baseboard are in my house. I still can't believed Carpenter succumbed to the pressure from a four year old, guess I know where I stand.
So I will post shots of the tree house progress, and when its done we'll invite ya'll who have kids over for a tree warming BBQ. And if you don't have kids, guess you're out of luck. Unless of course you get BUSY between now and then...
