A few things we LOVE about having a house!!

Just wanted to share some of our favorite things about our new place:
We have a fenced yard!!
Complete with a TON of sticks, courtesy of our big ol' tree.
The kids will play out there for quite awhile and not even touch the toys.
I guess toys are kind of limiting, but a stick can be anything!
In this case, I think it's a sword. :)

Our back door has a Doggie Door :)
Now, some of you may think that for a family who has no dog,
this feature would be rather useless.
My kids, however, have found it to come in handy quite often
when they can't get the door open!
Yes, they both can fit through it -
crazy kiddos! :)
We have a driveway to play in!!
We finally have space for drawing with sidewalk chalk, playing,
and riding bikes....or at least scooters
since technically we don't own any bikes...yet.
Ahhh the joys!
The one downfall is the kids constantly argue over who gets to push the button to open the garage, but I suppose I can live with that, considering all the positives! :)

Looks like you have been very busy but having a lot of fun! Congrats on the new place - that is exciting. I'm not sure why we ever spend money on toys - as long as there are a few sticks and a little dirt we are good :)

I was always a big fan of sticks. I'm glad you're enjoying the house.
