log cabin living

a few weeks back we scored a vintage little tykes log cabin for declan from a nice family selling theirs on craig's list. i had been wanting to buy him a playhouse for quite sometime having a feeling he would be into a house his own size with a door and shutters to open & close and his own telephone.

here are a few photos from the first days of having the cabin. it was hard for me to get the perfect shot as he doesn't stop moving! he definitely likes it!

about to tackle mama and the camera!


it is very large as playhouses go, still plenty of room for this big boy to grow into.

playing in the dirt! we tucked the cabin in our back treeline which is a large mulched bed with 10 pine trees. while it looks really cool back there, he tends to come out a lot dirtier than he went in. i'm considering moving it onto the grass for the remainder of the season and we can put it back in the "forest" for winter.

First of all, I LOVE the log cabin!! I think it is the perfect boy retreat. Second, I love it even more because it is back in the trees...don't move it! I bet if you put pine straw down, the dirt wouldn't get to him. And third, I love it even MORE because he has a little American flag proudly displayed. Too cute!

I can see Declan is going to love his log house for a long time. Love the flag,too!
