Our Place



June 2011

This is not an old memory  - not even a full year has passed since this photo.

Lil' Monster  was playing here,

moments later all had gone quiet.

This is what Mamma Sass found.

Our Landing -

into the loft which is currently our little homeschool -

is a place of interest for us all.

It is 4 ft. by 4 ft. 

But it is the most used place in our house.

Our love for this little space has grown in this last year.

In fact,

maybe we should give it an official name;

just not sure what would be clever enough.

For Lil' Monster it is his play house

(even though he has one in the LARGE closet inside the loft room).

One evening Mr. Elskan and Mamma Sass were chatting on the couch in the living room.

When she looked up and this is what she saw.

For Mamma, the landing (as you can see in the background) is an extra storage for things she uses regularly, like the vacuum, or as a temporary pit stop for items between the homeschool and the rest of the house.

 We use it as place for our

intercom

(shouting loudly to the lower levels for instructions etc.)

observation tower

(checking out who is coming and going outside)

Podium

(for singing, speeches, or general announcements)

Hang Out

(we sit and chat out there)

Reading Roost

(a place to pile books and sit and read while watching the folks downstairs)

Our Little Landing has many purposes.

Maybe it is time we name it.

Any ideas?
