The playhouse out back

Diane (William's Mama Dee) took a break from helping us unpack all our kitchen gear to introduce William to his new backyard playhouse this afternoon. William was charmed by the little door, just the perfect size for him, which he proceeded to opencloseopencloseopencloseopenclose.






































This all lasted until David looked out the back door and saw what they were doing. He waved his arms and bellowed some warning about staying out of the playhouse until we can clean it out because William might catch the plague or something. I'm not sure how you can catch the plague from a little wooden playhouse built about five years ago, but hey, maybe they're teaching all sorts of esoteric stuff in medical school now, right? (But we do need to get out there and clean out the little house so William can play in it without getting filthy, if not contaminated by a deathly disease.)

William was a good sport about it. In fact, he was willing to pose for a few pictures on the back steps of the big house, too. I think this picture really conveys the essence of William these days. The porch rails are perfect for a rousing hilarious game of peekaboo!



















In fact, here's another back steps photo from the other night:

Umm... I am still waiting to see what the back of the shirt says but in the meantime, that playhouse sure looks cute. We are missing you out here in the dry desert heat but last week it did rain for about 2 seconds. LOL!

The back of the shirt just says Little Papi, in homage to Big Papi, the Red Sox player David Ortiz. It's only really funny/cute if you know who Big Papi is, I guess, but since that's David's current favorite player, it made sense.
