Somewhere in the middle of prepping for having a baby or actually having the baby I forgot to mention awesomeness that is our basement.
Is it a finished basement with immaculately designed spaces? No, it’s totally unfinished with great views of our whole plumbing system. It took me months to shove all of our crap into the far corners of the basement so I was able to section off about 50% of it for play space. I knew that once we had the baby, in the middle of winter, the kids would need a place for some large muscle activity or I would end up on some bus to Vegas.
There’s a carpeted area for playing and the climbing dome, and a concrete floor perfect for chalk drawings and riding tricycles. I don’t like to toot my own horn too often, but making this basement thing happen? I AM A GENIUS.

I was flipping back through your blog from the picture that is the glorious Alice – and I saw this. We too had an unfinished basement growing up.
Two words:
4 square. [remember that game? we outlined a 4square court on our cement with masking tape, and played for hours. Shep and Neko are probably a little too young right now, but it was the perfect bad weather indoor playground game.]
