It's project time at my house.
The kid's room was driving me a little crazy, and their books were taking over the world.
See what I mean? It just wasn't doin' it for me. 'Cleaning-up' meant push everything into the closet or against the walls. Which can only mean one thing:
Time for a trip to Ikea! I recruited my MIL, sent Emmy to the neighbor's and we were off.
Caleb loves it when I go there:) Jonah loves it even more! Gives them an excuse to use their tools.

Does this come naturally to all boys? He knows exactly what to do with each tool - cracks me up!
Caleb really makes him feel like he's helping too, it's the cutest thing ever for a Mommy to watch.
And here's my girl! Is she trying to hammer with the end of a screwdriver?! Oh yes!

And the finished product! It scared me to think that I had considered just getting the 2X4 bookshelf instead of the 4X4 - cause it filled up really quick! I think we're going to end up with a killer yard sale this spring.

I think we're going to end up with a killer yard sale this spring. I still need to finish arranging the rest of the room, redo the wall decor, decide what's staying and what's going, fun stuff like that.
I think I must be Pre-Nesting.

Books: Easy to acquire, hard to part with.
Mac and I go through the same thing with our books. We have the hardest time deciding which ones have to go. You'd think I was giving up a child.
Someday I want all the walls in my house to have built in bookshelves so I never have to make a choice about which one goes again. OK, maybe not ALL the walls, but I do need a lot of bookshelves.
P.S. I've never seen Luke so interested in a post. He likes your Pat the Bunny bunny on top of the bookshelf. ("Ba" + pointing is how I know this).
I love that you're listening to US3!! Goooood song!
That room needs some boy things. But my goodness that's a great book shelf!
I love that bookshelf, I have one of my own in one of my extra rooms. Pretty sad that I don't have kids and I already need one of those... Looks like your pre-nesting is working well. :)
