You too can have a spacious mansion with an ocean view
If you're strolling along the beach and happen to find a huge pile of driftwood that someone has arranged in a circle, you should immediately scream "It's our house!!!" and claim it by putting all your stuff inside.
Figure out where the bedrooms are and if you have the right feng shui.
After you're done unpacking, have a little bite of lunch at the dining room table.
Then take a nice refreshing pretend nap in your beach palace.
Ahhhhh, life is good.

Reminds me of my childhood! Lived in a house, but was always creating a new one! Perhaps my Mom's constant comments about "the kitchen in my NEXT house" brought about imaginary homes?
ReplyDeleteToo funny. Have you ever seen the comedian who talks about claiming a territory simply by raising a flag? Your story reminds me of his act.
ReplyDeletelol
ReplyDeleteWhile the view is fantastic, I see the girls starting to gripe about the taxes and the people trespassing on their property to get to the beach.
ReplyDeleteToo funny!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful house it was! I only wish life didn't get in the way so I could have stayed longer! :)
ReplyDeleteJohnny just made me choke on my coffee....SO true!
That is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLOVE it!! That is better than any store bought playhouse I have ever seen!!
ReplyDeleteI love their creativity! Your life must be SO MUCH FUN with those girls!!!
ReplyDeletethat is the perfect home:)
ReplyDeleteMy friends and I would do that too but ours would be with leaves in the front yard. :-)
ReplyDeletei love it. being four is majic w/you as mom!
ReplyDeleteI like the open air quality of it :).
ReplyDeleteOh....love it. The driftwood looks great and it looks like Ro and Ree set about making it their house quickly. :-)

It's the simple things... so cute!!
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteThis is exactly why 4 is my favorite age :)
ReplyDeletePlaying at the beach in November with no jackets, while Catherine is snuggling into winter clothes and enduring winter snow. How strange our world is.
ReplyDeleteMust be a twin thing. I remember doing very similar things with my sister at whatever we could find to call a cave or nest or home.
ReplyDeleteOh, the simple joy they have together. Just warms my heart.
Too dang bad that we have to grow up. My paper dolls lived in a condo (the living room end table) and drove around in a snazzy station wagon (cardboard box).
ReplyDeleteThis is so cute. My kids create their own house right in the house with a tent.
ReplyDeleteLove it - isn't this what childhood is all about. I can just see my little girl doing the same thing, lol!
ReplyDeleteMy best friend and I went out on my front lawn every Saturday morning when I was a kid. Crack of dawn - freezing cold some times. We'd have a blanket and two cups of hot chocolate and some of my mom's banana bread. We were 'going on vacation'. Magical stuff.
ReplyDeleteBoy, the first thing I thought of when I saw this post was the children's book called Roxaboxen. Sure reminds me of that book! It's probably a book that's still over their heads, so I'd just check it out of the library and see what you think.
ReplyDeleteI loved this post, it just made me plain happy.
ReplyDeleteAww...how cute is that? :)
ReplyDeleteThat is the life. I admire them and shall take their advice immediately!
ReplyDeleteThat is what the beach is for! Forget all that swimming with the man eating sharks stuff. My 10 year old and her sister still do this and we have to make reservations to join them for dinner or ELSE.
