• Tree House Envy

  Any time I see a movie with a tree house I get jealous. The Sandlot, Jack, Orphan, Nim’s Island, Swiss Family Robinson. I even got jealous of the tree house in Tarzan. That’s right, the Disney cartoon version. My tree house envy is bad people. You have no idea. I just don’t talk about it but it’s always there. I’ll just stand there and think of something like “man, when was the last time I changed Kayden’s diaper? I wonder if I planted a tree in the backyard now how long it would take to be fully grown for my tree house? Probably after I die? God! What is that funky smell? Kayden pooped! I’ve been waiting for that all day. If I used baby feces as fertilizer I wonder how much quicker the tree would grow. I wonder if it’s more of a miracle than Miracle Grow.” I think I’m toning it down a lot but if you guys only knew the amount of research I did while ignoring my children and squandering over the internet you would think I was psychotic. Zoe could’ve been like “mommy I’m playing with matches and I just lit the drapes on fire.” “I wouldn’ve been like “that’s nice honey. Don’t forget the blinds too.” I’m just documenting this now so that you don’t keep reading my page and two years down the line while reading one of my posts you’ll think “I think this woman is crazy”. Um hello? It’s been documented that I was on April , 2011 at approximately ! Stupid. If I actually wrote down all the research I did I think it would have to take about 3-4 entries

  If you know me you will know that I am obsessed with playhouses and treehouses and anything that ends with “houses”…. not including outhouses. My husband knows this too. I was all about “If we buy a house it has to have a backyard so I can make a tree house.” After we bought our house with the treeless yard it was “after we move out of this house and into a new house with a tree in the backyard 10 years later I’m going to make a tree house.” This is on my life list of Things I Want To Do Before I Die. Anytime I see a movie with a treehouse
  
  So anyways, back to treehouses and playhouse. I know I wrote a post before on a few playhouses that I thought were really cute (which is really a back up to my tree house plan).
  
  Ohdeedoh had this posted not too long ago. A treehouse bed. Hello?! LOVE! It just made me think of my tree house dream. Kayden and Zoe, I solemnly swear that I will make you a tree house/play house before you’re too big to play in it.
  
  I would paint this yellow or green. Maybe even light blue.
