I said a few blogs ago that I would go through the house and take pictures of our rooms, so those of you who haven't seen our house, could see it. Well, we were downstairs in the basement and I thought I'd take a picture of our playroom. Our basement is unfinished, but I love it that way. We have made a big space for the kids to play in and then the rest of the basement is open, so they can ride their bikes down there if they want to. Granted, there's a lot of junk down there too, but we've pushed that all to the sides, so they have room to ride. It's so nice in the winter especially, because they want to run around and when they can't go outside, it's the best place to go. We had Noah's birthday party here in February and what did all the kids do? Play in the basement and ride all the bikes and big wheels we have. We love having that space and honestly, that's a major reason why we bought this house. It's fantastic! The palm trees are leftover from Madie's party a couple of years ago and the pirate flags are leftovers from Noah's party this year. We just keep adding to it. ;-)

Boy, great minds must think alike. We did the same thing. We had a wide open basement and we had big-wheels down there, and mostly the kids skated (on four-wheel skates, no in-lines back then) around and around, under the stairs. By the time they reached their teen years, we had the basement finished off, and put a bedroom, an office, and a workroom down there, along with a bathroom.
