Remember this?

Good morning everyone!

Well I'm reverting back to my childhood - without a doubt -
While unpacking stuff for the guest room / munchkins room I came across this


Some of you will remember when I did this - most of you will probably not because it was done over 2 years ago - and the interior was never completed ( I had dreams - oh I had dreams LMHO )

(So this Fairyville I've started may only be complete in 2016)

In the meantime they can help Lolli work on the interior of this





If you can bear to look at photos even worse then these - and trust me these look AMAZING next to what I used to take lol - you can see how I turned this breadbox


Into a little dollhouse HERE



My daughter's having a first year anniversary ( oh my gosh it's been a year since the wedding - can you believe that? ) party today here at the house - a pool/bar-b-q party to be precise.
Want to see some of the wedding posts?

You know I'm really tired when there's more links than content

See you Monday - bright and early everyone!
You all have a fabulous weekend
Hugs,

Fairyville Friday is postponed this week because I haven't had time to play with fairy houses -

My son came by with his girlfriend Vanessa - and her 2 little girls....................

And he picked up a bunch of " friends " for them for the pool
Some of you saw how much fun I had with them

Crikey the Crocodile


Willie


and enough toys to tempt the little ones to go in


Meet Leah


and Livia


Suzan says - C'mon girls - aren't you going to go swimming ?
Leah says - You have to have a little more patience !
Livia says - Giljewopwu  aseuropweirj   alskd   alksdewi !
Suzan says - Pardon ?
Livia's Mom says - She likes to speak in tongues

Suzan says - Ok - let's get your bathing suits on

Leah says - Ok


Livia says - eoriuw  fdjr gjiorew aks vksr adkl !


Livia says - Do you know what that means?
Livia says - If I don't have floaties on I'll drown and If I drown then I'll die and if I die then I'll be sad
Livia says - Will you be sad too?
Suzan says - I would cry a lot
Livia says - dkflasi  sdfjiwqu  fisle tie qdkla !!!
Translation - THAT'S WHY I NEED MY FLOATIES


Leah says - You have to be more patient - I'm just going to sit here for a little while
Livia says - dkfjlak  fajfl  afjlka  dkfjla COLD !


C'mon girls - you can do it !!!



that lasted about 3 minutes - but I have to admit Gordie and Vanessa had a blast





While the little ones cheered them on


Soda even got in the pool ( the right way - not like the accident when we first moved here !!! )
courtesy of Lindsay - ( or Lin-z - the way she spells it - which is NOT the way it appears on her birth certificate !!! )


she was ready to come out by the time Ashley took her


And just as a side note I have to tell you when my son was at the store picking up all the swimming pool toys he took a double look - as soon as he got to the house he showed it to John - who took a double look and a third look  (and maybe you'd have to know me in person to see this - but even I see it - it's a little uncanny actually )
It's almost my double right on the package of the floating mattress - which is what he was picking up for me!
Gordie says - Look Mom - even the same dark roots !!!
Thanks sweetheart :)


When the girls were leaving - Leah said - Hey - how come your picture's on that package???

And Livia?

Well she was far too busy to see the resemblance


Day 2 - and the second batch of swimmers arrived............
Meet Olivia !

And Lucy - ( as in I LOVE Lucy )


Izzy :)


Amelia !


and little Aidan - the only boy amongst all of them and who wasn't having any part of this girls fest !


until he spotted the boat


Soda spotted the other one - I could die !!! ( she did this on her own lmho )


After 5 months of renovation hell on earth we have a lot of catching up this summer ( before reno's begin again in the Fall )

Oh and between all that?
I FINISHED the guest room -

John says - Can't that wait for a rainy day or something- summer's here - you don't want to spend it painting and scraping do you ?
Suzan says - fdjluiw vjhle akslwi skfjo
translation:
SOMEONE HAS TO DO IT !!!

I'll bore bombard you with photo's of it soon !


And a pool - a pool definitely helps :)

We're babysitting 3 of those munchkins today - any guesses where most of it will be spent?

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend !
Much love - and big fat WET chlorine smelling hugs!
