The unexpected reaction

I'm behind in posting Lexi's reactioIs to to the "adventures".  Trying to blog with her home is tricky.  Any way.....

After the cleaning of the house Alexis came downstairs (the house is still in the living room), took one look at the house, & got angry!

"Someone messed up my house!" She said with crosed arms and scowled.

Then she dumped everyting out of the dolls bedroom.  Grumbling and complaining the entire time.  She put the bunk back to were it was originally and tossing the clothing in a heap.  She then dumped out the kitchen. Tossed all the shoes into the kitchen.  Just totally changed everything.

When the boys woke she demanded to know who messed up her house.  None of the boys even smiled.  Noah had helped with the cleaning and the others were there when we were doing it.  They played it cool as could be.  All of them told her they didn't know what she was talking about. 

About noon time, Alexis was still stuck on the fact that someone messed up her doll house. Ethan opened the laptop and let Pheebe's note flutter to the floor in front of Alexis picked it up and said "Maybe Pheebe messed up your house".

Suddenly it clicked and Lexi wanted to check out the blog again.  Ethan was roped into reading her the blog.  As he read she started to panic.  It was Pheebe that made the changes to the house.  Lexi then wanted to put the house back exactly how she had found it and insisted on looking at the pictures in order to do it.

It took some convincing, but finally I got Lexi to understand that Pheebe wouldn't be happy if Lexi just stopped playing with her and left the house as a museum.

She played all day with the dolls and once again trashed the house.  As she was getting ready to go to bed I started cleaning the doll house.  Of course she wanted to know why.  I told her I didn't like to leave messes for other people to have to clean up.  She immediately pitched in and helped clean up.  She tucked the dolls into bed and layed down beside the doll house with her pillow and blanket.  She was sleeping over Pheebe's house.

Last night Hally did Pheebe's hair.  This may sound like a simple adventure, but it took 4 hours to do it.  That doll's hair was a matted mess!

This morning I woke around 6:30am to "mom, they did something again.  We need to check the blog."

I think she will bounce out of bed for a long time to come.  :-)

"Someone messed up my house!"

"Who could have done this?"

"Fixing" the mess

Ahhhhh....  nice and messy,

Now I can play again!

Did I mention how big this house is?

Christmas morning

Lexi came down stairs to find the new doll Hally, her jeep, & her camper sitting in front of a VERY large package.

Upon opening the package this is what she found.  

Lexi immediately wanted to know how Pheebe  got downstairs.  She had me read her the note.

But she had no intrest In going to the blog to check it out.  I was a little worried, but gave it time hoping she would come around to it in a while.  

She kept asking who brought Pheebe downstairs, but no one knew a thing.

To give you an idea of the size of this beast of a house....

Once presents were opened Lexi quickly dove into playing with her dolls, while dad and I unpackaged everything else.

At the end of the day Lexi left the doll house in a heap.  So adventure #1 was spent cleaning up the mess, playing go fish, and having some giggly sleepover fun.

For the details about each adventure check out the blog "Dear Alexis".

Why bunk beds?

You may have noticed in the last post that Pheebe is getting bunk beds and wondered why does one little doll need 2 beds?

Well, I've been informed that Pheebe's frieind Hally will be rolling in about the same time as the man in the red suit.

Why?

What's more fun than one doll that can get into mischief while you sleep?

The answer of course is two!

Hally is packing her bags and getting ready to make her voyage.  Why so soon?  Quite frankly Lexi is at Gramma & Grampa's house and who wants to be opening all those pesky boxes on Christmas eve?  Not me!

 

Not when I have so many things to put together all in one night.

How does Santa do it all?

Next on Hally's to do list....

Pack up her camper of course.

While Pheebe rides a "motorcycle" (yes I know it's a scooter, just don't tell Lexi that.  She will fight you to the death.  Pheebe rides a motorcycle! Period. end of arguement) and camps in a tent roasting hotdogs over the fire.  

Hally prefers going mudding in her jeap and camping a bit more comfortably in her RV.

Well, I guess it's back to cleaning out the junk in Lexi's room.  Have to make room for the doll house.  Besides, Lexi's room has doubled as storage for way to long now. 

Behind the scenes

This blog is currently a work in progress, but I wanted to get this portion set up and going to start.

This blog is for my daughter.  To preserve the memories of magic and laughter.   So that one day we might be able to look back on this time and remember the fun.

I got the idea for this little endeavor when a friend posted a story about a family who had plastic dinosaurs who got into mischief while the children slept.  I thought of how much fun that must have been for both the children and the parents and thought this could be a blast.  I decided I would like to do something similar for my daughter using her favorite doll Pheebe.

Pheebe hasn't started her adventures yet, but there is alot of planning going on right now and I can hardly wait to start!  I am excited to see what my 5 year old will think about it all, and can't wait for the fun of planning it all out.

I hope you'll join us in our adventure, but even more importantly I hope this blog will inspire you to bring a little magic into someone's life.

Pheebe's journey will begin shortly after Christmas, but for now I will use this blog to record the process of the next month's planning.
