i Decided that I wanted to build Brooke a dollhouse, because The Little one we got her 2 years ago was just too little. She couldn't get her hands in there to play, so she took the furniture out of the house to play with it. I wanted to make her a big one so she didnt have to do that. I went and bought the wood, and called Kennys dad to see if he wanted to help build a dollhouse for his granddaughter. He said yes and we could work on it every Friday afternoon. So I made arrangements to get off every Friday at 2:00 to go work on it with him. Brooke was very excited and she was always saying, "My Grandpa's going to help me build a dollhouse!" So the first Friday came for us to start it and he backed out. I was so mad. Brooke was really excited about it and now I didnt want to let her down. I hadn't asked Kenny to help because He works alot of hours and doesn't have much free time. Now we didn't know how we were going to make it without the tools to do it. So anyway, Kenny took the wood and went to lowes and just had them cut it in sections, so we could work on it from there. that night we stayed up really late and put the main thing together. It looked like bookshelves! ( By the way, we are REALLY good at making bookshelves!) So, the next week I bought some things to make room dividers, and we went over to Kennys cousin Nathans to help us cut them to make them fit. Blah Blah Blah a month later its done! Its not fancy or anything, no windows or doors. I had a lady at my work sew these curtains that I hung up to divide the rooms up. They gave the rooms a little something extra and werent just boring walls with a door! It took alot of time, and Brooke helped me paint some of it, so she had her hand in it, and the look on her face when it was almost done was priceless! Now for as long as it stands, she will be able to tell people that her mommy and daddy built her this dollhouse. Enjoy the pics!
