It is so important to make it your own.<BR/>I found some great ideas at Ikea for lights, we put them on our front stairs, they would look great around your fence.<BR/>I could see you guys having a bright coloured front door! I think it would suit you guys!Robynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06833266093505986214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9797539.post-15121387404596547552008-07-10T13:22:00.000-05:002008-07-10T13:22:00.000-05:00I think dave heard about this fort online at one p...I think dave heard about this fort online at one point, or saw it at toys r us. he had his eye on it for while before he found it on sale one day. <BR/>I have not been picture worthy recently because the only interaction I've had is with my computer. But I am out and about now, so i imagine a photo or two will show up here!<BR/>Thanks for the thoughts and comments! <BR/>And yes, like Gord, Dave has been the one playing with the fort the most!DAve and JAniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00390662900535826211noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9797539.post-38997827738409943732008-07-10T12:45:00.000-05:002008-07-10T12:45:00.000-05:00PS Where does Dave find those awesome toys?

I know he's been offered a job in a toy store before (I was there) because the owner was so impressed with his knowledge of her stock. (pay sucks tho and who wants to work in someone else's store anyway)<BR/><BR/>Way to go Dave, champion toy finder and bargain hunter.<BR/><BR/>love Mom XXMom Colvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402738226991579932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9797539.post-51352304346704149022008-07-10T12:42:00.000-05:002008-07-10T12:42:00.000-05:00Yay Janie we certainly do appreciate the shots of ...Yay Janie we certainly do appreciate the shots of your yard and of course of Corrina (Dave too). We need some of you too.<BR/><BR/>Its coming along so well and I know its been hard work. You've already made huge improvements in the look of your home - both inside and out. <BR/><BR/>If you do decide to paint the roof over the front door you'll have to straighten the ding out of it first or it will stick out like a sore thumb. I think it would look great tho. Don't forget that Corrina's toys add colour to the front yard too.<BR/><BR/>I love window boxes, tubs of flowers etc (even silk ones can work for a season because its hard to tell from a distance). You're going to have fun wandering thru garage sales and I just know you'll find some amazing things that you can turn into garden art.<BR/><BR/>Your lawn at the back is certainly taking off. Do you have your outside tap working now?Mom Colvinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00402738226991579932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9797539.post-42872164609843777052008-07-09T23:17:00.000-05:002008-07-09T23:17:00.000-05:00That fort does look cool.

Love it. Corrina's getting so big. I keep watching the WestJet sales and thinking maybe-ish thoughts. I want to come and visit.<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the grass. My suggestion for adding color to the house -- maybe paint the little roof over the door. It's a small area so it wouldn't be tons of paint but it would look great in a deep red or a green. A window box under the window on the main floor could also work. They're pretty easy to find at garage sales. A wrought iron (or wrought iron-looking) one filled with colorful flowers could brighten things up.<BR/><BR/>Something else that would be cool, but a little less practical, if you could find some old shutters and paint them and hang them by the windows I think it would look great but shutters are harder to find without making a big investment. Boo :( I think it's awesome that you guys have a house of your very own. Someday . . . .<BR/><BR/>much love to you three, <BR/>Claire<b>Claire Colvin</b>https://www.blogger.com/profile/12339827100498977260noreply@blogger.com
