MaKieley's School House

Let me start off by saying I'm sorry for so many pictures! I just thought all the steps needed to be shown. This all started with a big box that Marley's dresser came in. MaKieley decided that she was going to make a house out of the box. I told her about when I was little and I built a club house out of a box with Dangran. She thought that was great but her's was going to be better! So she asked Dangran if he would help her while she was out on Thanksgiving break and he said sure. The picture above is of the planning process. MaKieley has been going to Art Club again this year and they learn to plan out their project before starting. So that is what she did. She was so funny about it - she had a very particular idea about how it should be!
MaKieley let Dangran do all the "dangerous" stuff. This included cutting the door opening, cutting the window openings, making the window box, and cutting a teacher peep-hole and a welcome mat. He also helped with taping the window box to the window. But please do not think any of this was his idea! MaKieley had plans drawn out before they ever started and he cut where she told him to. He was great!
Here they are talking about where to put the window and exactly how it should be cut.
Here is MaKieley looking out the window over the window box! She did all the decorating herself with Markers she borrowed from Grammie!
Here is the "MaKieley & Marley Preschool"after it was finished.
Here is MaKieley sitting in the Preschool. Her comment when she was finished was "It was much more fun than I thought it would be!"
Thank you Dangran for helping with the construction and Grammie for the loan of the tape and markers!
