Thanks, Uncle Owl!

Last Thursday evening while I was making dinner and waiting for Daddy to get done at the dentist, I got a phone call from Daddy's work friend, Al. C&G call Al, Uncle Owl.

Don't ask.

Anyway, Uncle Owl was on his way home from work, saw that his neighbor had put a cute little plastic playhouse out for the garbage. Uncle Owl wanted to know if we wanted it. And since we're so classy, we said YES, PLEASE! It took Uncle Owl and Daddy a while to get it down and find a car to haul it home in, but we did manage to dumpster dive ourselves a little playhouse!

On Saturday, Daddy power-washed it (fun for the kids in its own right!) and set it up in the yard for us!

TA DA!!!

Looks pretty good for free!!!

The kiddos are certainly enjoying it! They like to serve ice cream out the windows and the other day they pretended it was a fish tank and fed the fish handfuls of grass.

Hmmm, I wonder if Uncle Owl could find, let's say, an iPad in the trash for us????

Nothing wrong with dumpster diving! Well, we wouldn't want to be dumpster diving for just ANYTHING, but plastic playhouses are an awesome find. And we're just as classy- we have a free Little Tykes slide in our backyard that Erik found on the curb up the street.
