By far the most neglected room in our house with respect to design and furniture is our bedroom. We decided to fix that (at least partially) and bought some second-hand nightstands. They weren't much to look at, but had some potential, along with some water damage ;-)
I had to do lots of sanding and filling to get them ready to paint
LOTS of coats of paint later, and some new hardware and they look a lot better
While we were in Canada we got some matching lamps from Ikea, and this is the final product. It is amazing how much nicer our room looks with matching nightstands AND matching lamps
This guy is a handful! He is obsessed with dressing himself, and re-dressing himself...
...and changing his clothes, and re-changing his clothes...ad infinitum
It has gotten so bad that we finally put a child lock on his own door to keep him out of his room. Even then, he still managed to get to his clothes during nap time from inside his crib...there is no winning
We got to plant some flowers in our front planting beds and pots
The kids had a fun activity at the library where they learned about planting seeds, planted grass seed in little paper cups, then made worms in dirt with pudding, gummy worms, and crushed cookies
For family home evening this week we had a lesson about the creation as we walked down to the river to play. The kids loved all the ducks. They spent lots of time throwing things at the ducks and watching the ducks try everything hoping it was food
The kids had so much fun with the ducks that Kim took them down the next day to actually feed them
Here are the kids in their matching dinosaur pajamas from grandma and grandpa Keyes
Mr. Macho (aka Nixon) helped his mom make bread this week
He also thinks he fits in this little baby chair
Lyza has been spending hours playing with her little dinosaurs in her green slime (flubber). Here she is cleaning them off
The fabric roof of our play structure has seen better days
So Kim sewed up some replacement fabric and we replaced it this weekend. I also did another structural repair to the beam that the swings are all attached to so that our kids don't get more of a ride than they planned on ;)
It looks a little better now
The kids love to cuddle up in our bed on Sunday mornings, so I am told since I have already left for meetings
That's all for now, have a great week
