The Treeless Treehouse



Our backyard is super-duper tiny. It was the only thing we didn't like about our house when we bought it last year. It's just so very, very teensy-weensy. Once we put in the swing set, wading pool, and sand table, it was full. The only way to add anything else was to go up.

So up we went.

These are pictures of the treeless treehouse while Kris was still working on it. The kids really thought they were helping. It would have taken half the time to build if they hadn't helped so much.

We are going to paint it as soon as we all agree on a color. (Kris wants brown, I want green, Bailey wants red, Zack wants orange.) We also have window boxes with marigolds already growing in them, a mail box, and a pulley system to add after we paint.

Eventually, Kris wants to put a roof on it. Zack wants to add a fireman's pole. Bailey wants carpet. I'm just happy it is finished enough for the kids to play in it!
