Sunday's Finest

A very respectable Sunday morning. Jasmine is kicking back and watching some tv in her Sunday finest!

Clear and Present Danger

Barbie had no idea whose party trick it was to put the Chima Wakz Pack Tracker in the living room. 

Hello, Friend!

It's always nice to have out-of-town (species) visitors (bed-fellows). 

Extreme Planking

The Dream House had a new visitor today. She had a different idea about how to use the elevator.

Door trouble

I think Midge found a stash of wine coolers...and, in her stupor tried to steal a bunch of Barbie's stuff...then was too loaded to get through the door...and just...couldn't...make it...

Uh oh...

Elevators!

A special guest stopped by. 

Not only is her castle free of elevators,

there are none in the entire kingdom...

she drove Ken and Barbie to distraction with her riding and squeal.

they had to lay down or... was it ... pass out...?

By the 30th "OMG ELEVATORS!!!" K & B had to numb the pain with some G & T's

but it didn't bother Cin... one bit - she was feeling FABULOUS!...

Bathroom Party Aftermath

A picture truly is worth a thousand words... here are three thousand words...

Party in the Bathroom

It appears the Dreamhouse needs more than one bathroom....or so says Midge from the shower.... and why can't Ken stand up?

Happy New Year!!!

Happy NYE! Ken on the floor with his feet up. And Shaft Barbie still in a dangerous position.

Housewarming Bash

Was just asked to re-attach the doors... Looks like the housewarming party was a barn burner... I am especially concerned about the one who passed out with her head in the elevator shaft...

The Build

It all began with a bunch of bags and pieces and directions that were incomprehensible. 

And then we found these helpers.

We made some progress.

Realized we weren't alone.

And finally were victorious...until we realized the Dream House Drama had just begun! What follows are the (mis)adventures of the Barbie Dreamhouse according to our children.

The Beginning...

It all began with our 5-year old kid's Christmas Wish List.

DREAMHOUSE!

Not any dreamhouse. But the Barbie one. With 2 elevators. And 3-stories. And AS TALL AS I AM!

Immediately we said "No." Our house is small, we have 3 dollhouses already, we have no need for another giant hunk of plastic in our house. And then...

Jen remembered being a 5-year and waking up on Christmas morning and this being next to her bed.

We relented and this was under the tree on Christmas morning.

Santa For-The-Win!
