I think they have one at Ikea for $7. If you want one let me know, we are probably going to go in March or April. Our babysitter has a bunch of pop-up cubes that M LOVES. The real benefit of the fabric cubes is that they can be used in the house or outside and fold up really small for storage. It is not quite the same as a house though.

As a mother of 4, who had a plastic playhouse for 2 years, and it was NEVER used by anything except spiders. The pop up tent that could be used inside and outside was a great hit! Stores easy and can darken with a blanket. Just a thought... The plastic playhouse dilema…

Almanzo didn't want to carry all that stone and he thought it would just be a huge pain to build. She reasoned with and cajoled him but he wasn't buying it. "Finally, I wept," she said. She got her fireplace. It was the only time in her marriage she cried to get her way. Your pouting and tantruming reminded me of this, and I thought you might appreciate it. :) I don’t have the book (everything’s stored for the moment) so I can’t do this verbatim, but there’s an excellent story by LIW where she recounts getting her stone fireplace … Almanzo didn’t want to carry all that stone and he thought it would just be a huge pain to build.

I always seem to end up with useless crap when I go to second-hand stores and yard sales. I envy your thrifting skills, Dawn!

Ours all closed except for the big one in Times Square because TRU couldn't hold market share against Target and Walmart. TRU was having massive sales right before they closed. If yours isn't closed yet you might find some markdowns. I'm still kind of mad I didn't buy the child-sized drum kit. Aren’t the TRU stores in your part of the country all closing?
