Cubby house first project for the new year .

We have been pondering cubby houses for some time now . We have debated buying a kit , making one from scratch and also getting my parents at Christmas involved on the project. After a few false starts the project has finally begun .Above is the first of many inspiration photos that we have looked at and debated the pros and cons. However after a few differences of opinion , we came up with our own cubby version suitable and safe to meet the playing needs of our 19 month old boy . Other ideas thrown around where tree houses as we have two large trees in the backyard perfect for a tree house but we both finally agreed on safety and practicality . So above are the first photos of a cubby in the making ....We first built the frame and then attached the flooring and the roof stay tuned for more finished photos to come - enjoy .

HAPPY NEW YEAR !

Goodbye to 2009 and hello to 2010 . Happy New Year to everyone . Hoping that 2010 will be a year of family , friends, travel and creative endeavors. New Years Day was celebrated as a family day - we called in to see some friends new house and of course a day at the zoo . Giraffes seemed to be the favorites along with the monkeys . We got a few strange stairs at my sons overexcited shrieks when the giraffes came out for feeding time . A great day to start the new year . 2010 promises to be a good year - bring it on !

Christmas was filled with family , Christmas decorations , a sparkly tree , seafood and one extremely excited little boy who enjoyed all the Christmas cheer ... however not so keen on Santa ... Merry Christmas and that is it for another year .
