In
Zelienople and across the country, Saturday is yard sale day. We thought yard
sales would be the best place to look for furniture for our new playhouse.
Early this morning, HittyBelle, Hitty Colleen and Hitty Catherine took off down
the street to see why all the cars had been going up and down the block. They
discovered a big yard sale and to their delight, there was the perfect size doll
furniture at a most reasonable price. They asked the lady not to sell it while
they hurried back home to get a wagon.
Oh my the excitement as
they brought the wagon into the backyard! Michael wasn't so sure as it didn't
look quite boyish to him. The girls explained that their dolls would just love
it. It had just enough 'old and lightly used' look about it that even at first
glance, I knew it was perfect.
Once we got the pieces
out of the wagon, we had a disturbing thought! How do we get them up that
ladder? It looked far higher than before. We knew Esther would be glad to help
us but sometimes we first like to try things on our own.
After a bit of
brainstorming, we came up with idea of tying the pieces with a rope and pulling
them up. We had difficulty holding the rope as our hands are mitten style and
no fingers to help grab onto things. After several unsuccessful tries we found
a solution. We tied the rope to our hands and that worked!
It has taken most of the
day, but we finally got all the pieces into the playhouse. Next we had to
decide just where to place them. Michael was still giving us a bit of
trouble. He climbed up on the table so as to see out the window but HittyBelle
removed him in hurry.
We moved the pieces
here and there and finally decided a placement for the time being. We may
change them around as we play but for now we are quite pleased. When we showed
Esther what we had done, she was so proud of us and agreed, we had found perfect
furnishings for the new playhouse. We expect to spend many happy hours here
this summer. We can hardly wait to show it to our dollies!
