A Fortuitous Day

My apologies for the long break in posts. I think I overextended myself with posts while in GA and with the redesigning I did. I needed a little blog vacation, so I took one. But now we're back and ready to post!

What started out as a pretty normal day for Caroline and me turned into quite an exciting one. First we went over to our friend Kim's house for a lunch play date and had a really good time playing and catching up.

Before we left Kim reminded me that she had a putting green that she's been meaning to give to us for Paul for quite some time. We loaded it into the back of my car and I drove away excited that I would have something to "gift" Paul with tonight. After all, if he's not going to see an actual putting green anytime soon, I might as well give him one that he can visit anytime on our back porch.

After we went grocery shopping (nothing exciting there), we headed back home for Caroline's afternoon nap. I had just put her down and was getting settled in for a little shut eye myself when the doorbell rang. I was not pleased to be diverted from snoozeland, but I ran to the door to see who it was. It was one of our neighbors asking if we might be interested in taking a Pottery Barn playhouse off their hands.

Um, let me think about it.....YES!! I locked the door - Caroline was asleep...she wouldn't miss me :) - and ran across the street to happily inherit the toy.
It took some work to get it out of their house and into ours, but it wasn't long before Caroline had herself a fantastic playhouse all set up and ready to go! When she woke up from her nap she was DELIGHTED by this new find and spent lots of time going in and out and in and out of the house.

Here are some pictures of the playhouse. I was too lazy to set up the putting green just to take a picture so you'll have to imagine it for the time being.
