Kids Clubhouse

Welcome to the Kids Clubhouse!  We've had this little house in our backyard ever since we moved in 7 years ago. That's where we stored our Christmas Tree and some other items. When our family was all coming here for Thanksgiving, we decided the kids would love using it as a clubhouse, so we emptied it out and Tiffany found a nice piece of carpet to put in it and walla - the kids clubhouse was created.
The kids had so much fun out there, we wondered why we hadn't done it sooner! At Christmas time, Kylie, Lexi and Sadie decorated it with a Christmas tree, garland, a fireplace - and we put lights all around the outside of it and ran an extension cord from the playhouse to the bedroom window of our house. It was so pretty seeing it lit up at night and the girls were so excited! The girls made a chore chart and all of the older grandkids have a chore - even Claire and Ethan - who live in Iowa. I wish they could be here to play in it with the other kids and do their chores!
At Easter time, the girls were cleaning it up and playing in it. Here is a picture of Sadie washing the windows.
And they even put a note in the window for the Easter Bunny so he wouldn't forget to stop at the Clubhouse.
We love that they love the Clubhouse! It will soon be too hot to play out there, so we'll look forward to next fall when they can create some more fun memories!
Here is a picture of the inside and couldn't for the life of me turn this picture. The garland is still up and so is the fireplace. On the board above the fireplace is where we hung Christmas stockings and Santa even put a couple of things in the stockings! The Easter Bunny didn't put anything inside the clubhouse, but there sure were a lot of eggs hidden around the yard - see next post.
