Playhouse Address

I wanted my kids' playhouse to have it's own address. It really makes it seem like their own haven.

So I stained a cheap plaque from Walmart.

I used my Cricut to make stencils on contact paper, placed it on my plaque, and blotted some black paint on it.

I carefully peeled off the contact paper.

Then I mounted it to the playhouse.

Did you notice that I also added a barn star?

I've got a thing for barn stars...

Well, the weather will be up to 59 degrees tomorrow. It's already 52 degrees right now.

We are flying kites with the kiddos in half an hour, then watching the Brewers dominate the Cardinals while grilling some steaks.

If the weather's still fine, I'm going back out to work on that playhouse.

I'll keep you updated!

What happened?!

Spring was in the air.

Buds were forming on the trees.

Flowers were bursting out of the ground.

I was starting my outdoor projects.

Then this happened...

Dear Lord,

I believe that you have mistaken the UP of Michigan for Alaska.

I forgive your mistakes, just as you forgive mine, but could you please bring back the birds and flowers?

Amen.

The Lord must have heard my prayers, because the roads are almost entirely clear and my hardy flowers can once again be seen.
What funny weather we're having...

My baby turned two today.

She will always be the baby. My baby.

And yes, she's a princess.

I love her <3
