Not exactly an update, as much as an update on plans. We had a family “meeting” in the treehouse this weekend to discuss next steps with the interior painting etc.. and some fun and interesting requests emerged.
1) Zip line access – We have a zip line in the front yard that we can move…this will be tricky to keep it safe, but we think it’s possible…
2) A chalkboard inside - Easy Peasy! We can paint a few of the panels in the chalkboard paint.
3) A refrigerator – Um, no…this is a treehouse, not your college dorm room….next?
4) A TV – See #3….DUH.
5) The bottom bunker built – This is actually top of their wish list. We really wanted our big outdoor project to involve a deer proof vegetable garden this year, but we’re feeling some pressure here. Our answer was: “We’ll think about it.” Still thinking.
6) A poster/collage depicting Godzilla destroying a Minecraft city – COOL!!!! We are a family who geeks out over old 50′s-60′s Godzilla movies…we love them. The boys are also completely obsessed with Minecraft, so this marries their passions on what should be a super fun art project for us…
We’ll be looking to create a combination of these two.
PLUS
= CHAOS!
While looking for images, I can across these great vintage Polish and Czech Godzilla movie posters from the 70′s, I love these and I can’t wait to show the boys and see what they think of them.
We concluded our planning session up there with snacks and a round of Life, and I’m so happy that it is only in this game that I would have 3 weddings and both a set of twins AND a set of triplets…phew!
Oh, I almost forgot! I made a mini-tour of the treehouse so far so that new readers don’t have to slog through all those treehouse posts to see the progress of the building.
Those vintage Godzilla posters are AWESOME! And I am not just saying that because I have three boys.
You guys are so cool! Who wouldn’t want a cool tree house (with or without a fridge)? Such a great family project, and so many memories to look back on together!
What lucky boys you have! I just elected ya’ll parents of the year.
I love how nonchalant you are about having THE BEST TREEHOUSE IN THE WORLDDDDDDD.
And I second what Melissa said.
Your family kicks all other family’s collective ass.
Whoa. I adore your treehouse. I seriously want to move in. But I’ll have to override the frig and tv decision. And I’ll need air conditioning. See you soon!
Wow, that is an awesome treehouse. Your design is gorgeous. I wish I had space for that but our yard is too small. Maybe I’ll chat to my sister – she’s on acreage…. Well done.
