The Things We Do For Love

I was on a quest to find the perfect playhouse for the perfect price for the perfect little girl (hee, hee). Acey and Cat (my parents) wanted to get it as an early birthday gift for Ann Charlotte so we could use it all summer. Mission accomplished! However, the Costcos in Memphis were sold out and the nearest one was Brentwood. No problem, we will take a family trip to Nashville to visit Clint and Lymari and pick up the playhouse. Wrong...the great flood came the weekend we were supposed to pick it up.

So today was the day. Trey's plan was to assemble the playhouse and get 18 holes of golf in before we leave tomorrow for vacation. Here is a progression of the day:

8:00am- Ann Charlotte is so excited to see the box in the house (she has been eyeing it all week in the garage)

8:15am-Trey had already broken a sweat but the pieces were coming together.

10:45am-Trey had gone to play golf and AC was admiring her two new walls.

2:00pm-No change in the structure because Dad was still on the course. However, AC woke up from her nap and while I was changing her clothes she took off to go see the progress (hence the diaper).

5:00pm-Everyone is back home and back to work. AC is making sure Dad is getting it just right.

8:00pm-Just before bedtime AC takes one last look. She LOVES what she sees! She doesn't even notice that there is not a roof yet. I think these pics say it all!


8:30pm-it is raining, Trey is exhausted but he keeps going! However, one photo had an obscenity in it so I couldn't post it. He gave me a kind hand gesture as I was snapping pictures.


9:30pm-13 hours later-AC is dreaming of sugarplums and FINALLY-we have a playhouse!
Oh, the things we do for love. I can't wait to see her play in it tomorrow morning! It will be so worth it! Okay now I have to pack!
