Damion & I were talking about a clubhouse for the kids. Anna was obviously for this addition to the backyard. A couple of nights later at dinner Damion was talking about his plans for his office shed to which Anna said, “No! No! Clubhouse first. Clubhouse FIRST!” To bad she doesn't know what she wants, eh?

A couple of weekends ago a guy in the neighborhood threw out some wood (looked like he got rid of some garage shelving). Damion & Anna went and picked up a bunch of wood. That night we started building the kids' clubhouse . By the end of the night the house was framed and had three walls. We moved it to the backyard (nothing like saying hi to your neighbor at 10 pm as he's leaving the house and you're carrying a clubhouse) .

The next morning Anna was excited to see it and Jack ran toward it but got distracted by his lawn mower. Problem was there were crickets in the clubhouse. Anna DOES NOT like bugs and would not step foot in it. That night it was relocated and the next day she was willing to sit in it.

The other night Damion & I started to build the floor for the clubhouse. This afternoon Damion left work earlier to finish the floor/decking. With some “help” from the kids and a quick trip to Menards (slight miscalculation for determining the amount of decking needed) the clubhouse is now level and secured to the decking and lattice is up to prevent something or somebody from crawling under it.

Stay tuned for status updates and more pictures will be posted as the clubhouse progresses. Oh and while you're looking at pictures of the clubhouse don't forget to look the fun pictures of Damion playing with the marching band set he got Anna & Jack.
