It was neat when I started...

I promise!  Why is it that one always has to make a mess in order to reorganize and rearrange... ?

I had this idea.  But I was only going to move one shelf.  Really.  And then this happened...

I decided to redo the way I had patterns organized.  So I made a color copy of the front of all these patterns (almost 300) and organized them, put them in a binder with dividers.  I wanted the patterns to be in open totes (used like drawers) in the closet which meant I had to clean out the closet. 

Right in the midst of this the little ones got sick and have wanted me to hold them off and on for several days.

And now it's my turn... I have the head cold and feel miserable.

I just need to get this finished, ya know?

Jr Triple Bunks - All "Forted" Up!

The little boys wanted a 'fort bed' so this is my version... ;)

It will be painted brown with some fun touches.  It's not against the wall completely because we have to put sliders on the bed and then paint it before it's firmly in it's place.  This thing is really heavy and very sturdy.  It won't get painted until the new year though.  Stay tuned!

Jr Triple Bunks

Our latest project.  Part whateveritis in the boys room... the 'frontier fort' (aka Boonesborough) bed!


Designing and building as we go.

I think this was after I said "Cut three 2x4s 32 inches long..." and then said "Oops, unscrew those and cut them 29 inches long!"  I'm married to Job!  LOL

Elijah, just hanging around... (yes, he needs a haircut! lol)

The bones are done... now for some fun touches and then paint!

little ones distressing the boards for the front of the fort... discovering that MDF is very hard!


More as we progress... nothing like step by step progess pics, right?  :)

ANTARES IS THE 15TH BRIGHTEST STAR IN THE SKY

IT IS MORE THAN 1000 LIGHT YEARS AWAY.

NOW TRY TO WRAP YOUR MIND AROUND THIS


THIS IS A HUBBLE TELESCOPE ULTRA DEEP FIELD INFRARED VIEW OF

COUNTLESS 'ENTIRE' GALAXIES BILLIONS OF LIGHT-YEARS AWAY.

BELOW IS A CLOSE UP OF ONE OF THE DARKEST REGIONS OF THE PHOTO ABOVE.

HUMBLING, ISN'T IT?

They are NOT clones! LOL

Okay... someone (several someones...) said, upon seeing my new header, that my children are clones.  LOL  I just don't see that so I set out to prove my point, or prove theirs (whichever way it works out).  I tried to find pictures that look just like the child, a regular smile, etc.. for them.  Now you all get to vote.  Clones or no?

So, please vote, Clones or No?

Which ones?

Thanks!
