Here are my beautiful girls playing on their soon to be playhouse.
Mathan is building us a storage room/playhouse/sunroom, and its exciting to see it coming together! We'll have a room for food storage and a room for tools and other stuff on the bottom level. On the top there will be a little balcony and a room with big windows all around. Perfect for sunset watching for me and storm watching for Mathan. I'm sure the girls are going to love it too as they grow older. It will be perfect for sleep-overs and all sorts of imagined adventures. The walls are up now but I'll have to post those pictures later. We just got the rest of the material for it last night, so all we need is time to do the work.
I don't know why, but just today I've been thinking about when I was little and had nothing to worry about. I remember coming home from school and putting my bag down, taking off my shoes, getting a glass of cold milk and cookies, and watching reading rainbow and 321 contact. Just letting my mind veg for an hour before the boring adult shows and news came on. We only had three tv channels and so usually there where only a couple shows that we were mildly interested in. After that we'd go outside and have our imaginary adventures or climb a tree. Sometimes I would give the horses some hay and climb on there backs while they were eating and just lay there. Absolutely nothing on my mind. I loved it, but not as much as I love the memory of it. Now there is always always something to worry about, something I have to get done, something I'm responsible for. And there will be til the day I die. Maybe this little sunroom that Mathan is making me will be my escape back to those days when nothing really worried me. Even if its just for a few minutes every now and then. Some milk and cookies, a nice sunset to watch and I'm seven years old with not a thing on my mind.
That's so great!
ReplyDeleteEva, I was just telling Jared last week of how much fun we'd have out at your house. Playing on the Hill for HOURS, playing in the little fort building in your back yard, re-stacking your dad's hay and making a fort out of it. Catching Poly-wogs in the 'big hole'. Swimming in the horse troph. Climbing the cedar trees. Making Potions in your room. Hiding in that closet under the stairs. Putting pillows at the bottom of your stairs and jumping off! I LOVED going to your house! So many fun things to keep us busy! I miss being a kid. Thanks for all the fun memories!
