The Real Slim Shady

Second load of treehouse wood was delivered today. Apparently the guys over at Menards misheard our name over the phone, so we got a load of wood delivered to “Cole Slims”. We will now be referring to Cole as “The Real Slim Shady” for the rest of the day. One more load left and this treehouse palace can start going up. 

If you are excited for this tree house please stand up, please stand up, please stand up! (Cheesy Mom rap pun 😂)

We aren’t MONKEY-ing around when it comes to this treehouse!

You can’t make this stuff up! We had some gorgeous live edge cedar delivered from a local couple who cuts the wood themselves. When they pulled up I heard Cole yell “JAMIE! Get up here! They’ve got a monkey!”   I grabbed the kids and we ran outside, low and behold they actually had a monkey. A real, live monkey. I can’t tell you much more about the wood or the loading/unloading from this point because I only had eyes for the monkey. 

He was sitting up in the dashboard eating a McGriddle (yes. I am serious.) of course Leo took one look and was off collecting sticks and throwing rocks. Peppy, my moms dog hopped right up into their car and it reaches out and starts petting him. At one point we actually saw the monkey drink soda through a straw it of a McDonalds cup. It was pretty crazy!

Oh yeah... and we got some wood.
