Lofty Ambitions

It's been a plan of mine that the boys should have loft beds when they were big enough to be trusted.  And it was finally time.  Also, they have been wreaking havoc with their matchbox cars in my living room for long enough.  So I decided to rip out their old carpet and install some super-for-zooming laminate flooring while I was at it.



And I only smashed one finger this time.  That is DEFINITELY a flooring record for me and hammered digits.  


New floor in.  Starting to build lofts.




My helpers doing an excellent job with the primer.



Finished product!


Enjoying the new floor - exactly as intended.  :)

Christmas Jammies

Every year my boys need new Christmas jammies.  Ok - "need" might be a strong word here.  But kids just need to be all cute and matchy on Christmas morning when they come down to see the tree, right?  Usually these jammies are from the store.  But this year I was inspired.  So I made them some extra cute jammies with plenty of time to spare.  Did I mention that they really like penguins?
