Neat & Tidy Cottage
We did it! We went out and bought the Neat & Tidy Cottage (from Zellers, instead of Wal-Mart) as a Christmas gift for Jake and Abby. It's a great little toy house that I would have loved to have as a kid. I'd have had my tea cup set in there, perhaps hung some curtains and then invited all my friends round.
But instead, my kids are a bit too young too do any of those things. Jake likes to climb on the roof and through the windows whereas Abby is mesmorized by the doorbell and telephone that comes with the house. I must admit that they are pretty cool. The telephomne rings and beeps while the doorbell really does chime.
Our biggest hassle with the Neat & Tidy Cottage is that it wouldn't fit into out car. Even once we'd unpacked it from its box. You see, I figured that there would be four walls and a floor. Each piece would be flat, I thought, and we'd be able to slide it in front of the back seat of the car.
Instead, there is a base that is absolutely huge and no matter how we tried we could not get it into our car. You'll see what I mean in the pictures below.
Oh, how we miss our minivan!
