Day In The Life: Robin and Family (Photostory)

We are moving to our second official Day in the Life series, featuring Robin and her family.  We are starting in her daughter, Courtney's bedroom.

It's daybreak and the sun is shining through Courtney's bedroom window.

Robin enters Courtney's room and turns on the light.

"Good morning sleepyhead.  Time to wake up.  (time elapses)  Come on beautiful.  Time to get our day started."  (Robin)
Courtney stirs a bit then rolls over on her back.

"There she is.  Good morning.  Are you ready for a fabulous day?"  (Robin)
"No."  (Courtney)
"Honey! Where are you?"  (Ron from another room)

"I'm in Courtney's room."  (Robin)

"Oh there you are."  (Ron)

"Good morning, sweetie."  (Ron)
"Morning, Daddy."  (Courtney)

"Honey, where are my clean shirts?"  (Ron)
"You're not talking about the shirts you were supposed to pick up from the cleaners, are you?"  (Robin)
"Oh shoot!  I forgot to do that.  So what am I going to do now?  I don't have any clean shirts."  (Ron)

"There are other shirts in your closet you could wear."  (Robin)
"Can you find something for me to wear?  I'm going to hop in the shower."  (Ron)
"I'll be there in a minute."  (Robin) 

"What would you do without me?"  (Robin)
"Lucky for you, you will never have to find that out."  (Ron)
"Ha, ha."  (Robin)
She turns her attention back to Courtney, who has laid back down.
"Oh no you don't.  Get up."  (Robin)

Robin makes up the bed, while Courtney takes the little elevator down.

Courtney checks in on her friends.

"Mommy, can I take my new bunny to school for Show 'n Tell?"  (Courtney)
"I think that will be okay."  (Robin)

"Let's go get breakfast started."  (Robin)
"And we have to get Daddy a shirt.'  (Courtney)
"Yes, lucky us."  (Robin)

Epilogue
Initially, I was planning to use Chelsea's Clubhouse out in the yard, but decided it's perfect for a bedroom.  I added the mattress up top.  The bench that the stuffed toys are sitting on, is what was originally on top.  The dresser did not come with the set.  The good thing about this clubhouse is that it comes unassembled.  This makes it very easy to paint.  I was in a hurry to use it, so I'm using it as is for now.  It did give me a chance to use my castle fabric for the curtains.  

We will be checking back in on Halle and Diego.

  1. This is super adorable. I love the plush toys at the tea table! Awww! The set-up, especially the curtains, are beautiful!

    Robin looks like Kenya Moore a little bit.

  2. Maybe I should've gotten that clubhouse when I had the chance. LOL It's adorable! But I'll be going to Target tomorrow. Pray I don't blow my bank account! LOL :-)

    1. Cindi - I haven't been to Target in forever. They have this clubhouse on sale at Mattel.com. Free shipping for $40 or more. They have a matching swing set for outside use. I haven't decided if I'm getting that or not.

  3. in the 1st shot I thought we were looking in a room in your house! But little Robin is quite the little princess, hopefully she won't get to used to be waited on hand and foot!

  5. Vanessa, that house is a-dor-able! I love Courtney's room!! Every little girl would want to spend the night. I have no space for it, but I may have to make an exception. Too cute!

    1. Georgia Girl - Isn't it cute? You know it's not often that Mattel makes things for the kiddies. That's why I jumped on this . If I find one on clearance in the future, I will probably get it and paint it all white. Courtney will probably have an overnight guest soon.

  10. Moshi - Hello! Thanks, that is quite the compliment. Courtney is their only child, so she's probably a little spoiled.

    1. Nymphaea - Thanks! It was a last minute decision to use this inside the house. Then I was anxious to put it together. It would still be in the box if I was planning an outside story.

  15. Great idea turning the playhouse into a bed. Every kid wants a room like that! I hadn't seen this set yet.Have you seen the older Little Tikes playhouse? It's perfect Kelly/Chelsea size and looks just like the real one.

  20. I enjoyed Robin and her family's story.

    The clubhouse works well in Courtney's bedroom and those curtains are just too cute!

    Ron is a piece of work. He seems more helpless than Courtney.

    By the way, Vanessa, I nominated your blog for the Liebster Blog Award. Read about it here.

  22. The truth is that I also imagined that clubhouse outdoors, in a garden but you had a wonderful idea and it looks just perfect as a bed and playhouse in the bedroom I love it!

    1. Rossetti - If I find one on deep discount, I will buy it, and paint it and have one for inside and one for outside. I still like the idea of an outdoor clubhouse.
