Do you live your mom's dream...
And play in your very own house,
outside where no one can hear you scream?
Is that what you do???? So do I!
...I used to dream of having my very own playhouse with windows and flowers...a retreat from my five brothers. Now you can see what we've been up to over here at the McLaughlin home. This was Lexie & Izzie's big birthday present. We figured that with three little girls (and a big girl) it will get its use in gold and we LOVE automatic babysitters over here sometimes! Okay, all the time. It's been sitting in a million pieces in my yard since April so it was about time that I, the tool-gal, Shay, built this with my assistant, Curt! (and when I get my fanny in gear and start 'decorating' the courtyard with COLOR, those lonely boxes will get flowers too). We just finished it today.
I couldn't fathom spending $1500 on the house I really wanted, have it crane-lifted into the yard not knowing if we were going to stay here forever and ever. So, this economical take-and- build kit will suffice! How darling is this? I've already had my turn playing 'chef' and the neighbor kids are playing house right now. We put our old kitchen set in there and it's sure to keep them busy for days!
Did you notice? The cupola & weathervane on top matches the one on our house! Too cute- I can hardly stand it! Wanna come play with us? We do tea parties! I wonder how long it will take them to ask for a slumber party outside...

I LOVE it! SO cute! My girls would love a house like that to play in! They could even bring their Pokemon inside to play! :)
I've always had the same dream, but never got one, so someday I will have to get one and live vicariously through Addy:) That is one of the cutest ones I've ever seen. What lucky girls!!!
So cute! And identical to the one my BFF Kelly has in her family room. Kelly has triplet girls that are three....and also a singleton boy who is three....plus two more big kids. It's complicated. (She is one of my links, Kelly and Quinn, if you ever want a good laugh.) Anyway, santa saw this house on line and bought it. Not fully realizing that it comes totally flat. Unassembled. But by then they were committed! It was Christmas for the girls!
I'm very impressed with your woodworking skills. The house looks beautiful!
Too cute! Maya would love something like that, but I have no carpentary skills whatsoever.
Very fun. My girls would love that house!
Oh...I love it! I had a playhouse when I was growing up but it was nowhere near as cute as that one. I'm SURE it will get lots of use! Good job handy girl.
So cute! I too wanted a playhouse when I was a kid. Your girls are so lucky. If I lived close to you, I would for sure be over for a tea party! ;)
Hi Shay!
Thanks for the blog invite :) I have a daughter named Izzie too! I love the name. You have a beautiful family and a fun blog!

Oh my Mattie would go nuts with your girls in that house! It looks like so much fun. And, i love that you are the tool-gal!
That is the most darling house I've ever seen!! After church two weeks ago Rachel said, Lexie said I could come over to her house tomorrow so it would fun to get the girls together!
You are the "Tool Time Gal"! It is gorgeous. Where do you find the time?
Super cute! love the weather vane. Luke and Hank are wondering if they can climb on top and jump off to the trampoline??
