Eva has an outdoor and an indoor jail!

Well as Uncle Tom refers to them anyway. When we were in North Carolina to visit our niece Michele, her husband Kem ( the artist we told you about in April's update) & our great nephew Zane; we saw the most practical, yet awesome kiddie corral ever!! They used white metal Closet Maid wire shelving units, they come in asst'd lengths & widths & can be adapted to pretty much any configuration. So our shelves that we are going to put in the attic "some day" are currently being used for a 6' x6' x 20" kiddie play area outside. Connected together with zip ties, easily moveable, dismantles in a snap! ( I sound like a commercial) Worked so well, we set up the ones we slated to use in the closet in the office for a temporary play area inside.
Although, Eva has decided playing under & thru her "bouncey" seat is much more fun than bouncing in it; the corral keeps her in sight while Auntie Martha sits & reads romance novels & eats Bon-Bons..all day.That is what retirees do when they watch their neice.
How long do you think, is she going to be in this jail before my shelves go up? Oh-wait, not a problem-I have no place to put the shelves...Eva-have fun..Looks like we'll be playing awhile.
