They LOVE their barbie house!!!

You can tell by the picture that Madi was not so happy about me taking this picture...

She said, "Is this for your blog...if it is, make sure you say that I DON'T usually play with barbies!!!"

Ha ha...silly girl!

I wish I still had time to play with barbies!!!

Anyway, a few years ago, Brent and I (mostly Brent) made this house for the girls...

I would love to someday make a second half to it and hinge it on the side...but that would make it pretty dang big!

Anyway, we have real carpet and linoleum inside, wood floors made out of large popsicle sticks...Brent fashioned a toilet, sink, (out of a broken wooden spoon, clever man!) there is wainscot to match what we have in our house, the walls are painted the color of our house, he made some awesome furniture, most of it is pretty mutilated by now.

But it was a fun project that has been dearly loved ever since.

There is even a staircase in it, which is something that I always wish I had.

Barbie houses never seemed to have staircases, how in the WORLD are barbies supposed to get upstairs without a staircase...

I guess I should have taken a shot of the inside...but they looked so cute there, not playing with barbies, and the pretty sun setting outside the window...had to capture it!

Elsie was there too. She is in the back left top room playing.

She plays for hours in that thing.

She almost crawls inside it!

I LOVE it that they LOVE it so much!!!
