Growing up, we moved about a jillion times. Including a big move to Europe during elementary school. Mom packed and moved all of our stuff, every time...so that we'd always feel at home in our new house and town.
After we were grown and gone...my parents kept moving. (They have already moved twice since I left home.) With each move, she kept all of our old toys and books - waiting for the day she could share them with her grandkids. Now she has 2 grandchildren (WKF and his cousin Zmoney).
In their current home, Birdie has converted a mini closet under the stairs into a playroom extraordinaire for her grandkids and their buddies.
While we were home last week, Birdie threw together a mega playdate (30+ people). What fun! It was a great way for WKF to meet all of his Akron friends all at once. The kiddos loved the playroom. It was so fun to see them playing with all of my old "vintage" toys!
From the outside, you would never even know there was a playroom under the stairs.
But when you open up those doors....it is magical!
Here are a few shots from the play date
If you live in Akron and you have little ones, please invite yourself to Birdie's anytime, she would love to have you! WKF and Z$ are happy to share their playroom and toys with you! Ooohhhh we wish we lived closer....
Thanks mama!
