In the land of the front porch...

I love weekends! It's a time where the kids
come together, and let their imaginations go wild.
I kept all my Barbies when I was a kid, and gave them to my daughter years ago.
So she has hers, mine and all the stuff we have bought at thrift stores. (You wouldn't believe the bags of stuff you can buy for a dollar!) This weekend, they took their villages out side. It's so funny....they will have 'rooms' set up everywhere they can. On the stairs...

.....and more stairs...........

Even the rails make great rooms......God forbid that little girl roll over!!

My daughter's friend has made a home in an old desk.........hey, she might be on to something here~ I could just see an art studio in here...hmmmmmmm

But for now, it's a bedroom

And here's a couch I made a long time ago. It's pieces of a 2x4 cut down, and wrapped with batting and material. Oh, and then wrapped in lace. I used a hot glue gun to do this, and I'd say it's held up great!

And the best part.....my boys bring out their GI Joes! I remember one time GI Joe flew in on his helicopter and picked up Barbie for a date....I love listening to them act out our world, it's quite interesting!!
