Life with the Cardalls: Summer project...made with love!

So I am late at posting this but I came across these pictures and wanted to write about our recent summer project.....

Paul built a darling little clubhouse for Eden in the corner of our yard.

After dad built it, Eden and I painted it inside and out and then decorated it together.

She chose the paint colors and the wall decals.

We painted one of the walls with a chalkboard for endless hours of doodling!

It's perfect for playing school, having tea parties and picnics, and definitely for

just hiding out!

Weather resistant furniture makes it low maintenance to keep up....woohoo!

We didn't buy any fancy plans but just made it from the heart! Eden has spent hours with friends in it already! Thanks daddy for all your hard work!

"Out of the mouth of babes"

While driving past our old home and pointing it out to Eden she said, "Mom, you bought our new house because of the dishwasher, huh?" (Mar.2011)

One day as I allowed Eden to lick the cake batter off the mixing spoon, I started to wash the bowl out in the sink. She asked, "Why does the sink get to lick the bowl and not me?" (Nov. 2010)

"We need to get a microscope and then our piano will be bigger!" (April 2010)

After feeding her fish one evening, Eden looked up and said, "Ahhh, he's a cute little fella." (April 2010)

When we were flying in an airplane to Florida and were up above the clouds, Eden glanced out the window and asked "Are we flying upside down?" (Mar. 2010)

"When dad comes home from the hospital, his heart will be all fixed. The workers will work on it for 5 minutes and then he can jump on the tramp!" (Aug. 2009)

My sister took Eden to the restroom and Eden commented that it was stinky in there. She then said "There must have been some boys in here." (Apr. 2009)

Eden was putting her play make up on me one evening. She said " You will look like a scary monster soon." Then she proceeded to put some pink gooey gloss in my eyebrows and said" Now your eyebrows look good and spooky". (Jan.2009)

"Mom.... when I get married in the temple, will you come? Daddy is going to be my prince. We will have to find you another prince, ok?"

I was rubbing Eden's back one night and my hands were a little cold. She promptly noticed and said "Go warm your hands up in the microwave and come back".

"When I get bigger mom I will drive your car and when you get little you can sit in my car seat when I drive."
