The Secret Spot!

So... many of you know that I have a slightly active little two year old. Okay, maybe that's a little bit of an understatement .. I have a VERY active two year old and days that are cloudy and cold and we can't go outside... like this.... (taken about 2 weeks ago!)

Can be a little tough. So as we finished are finishing, the basement (yes! It finally has carpet!) we decided to add a little playroom out of one of the large storage closets off the main room. This is where Mike tells me I'm a little extreme, I really just don't understand it! I think its perfectly reasonable to put a tree house in a basement, complete with ladder and slide!

Mike did a wonderful job building our little playroom. We built a platform with a ladder going up, and a slide going down. Joel calls it his secret spot. Under it we have a bean bag, a bookshelf with some books on it, and a few toys.
One of these days I am going to paint a tree on the walls around it and cutesy it up a bit! But until then, it has provided a lot of fun for Joel and his toys! Oh, and it is mom and dad tested and approved too!

Here is a picture of the main part of the basement too. We moved the tv down here, as well as the computer (so I can edit pictures and blog without fighting for the tv!) We love having the basement done and spend most of the day down here running and playing!

how fun! That'away to make use of every space! I would have loved a spot like that when I was little! And hooray for the almost finished basement! So much added space and room to run!

I think you should get a bigger TV. ;)
