Building a bed
The kids and I finally finished the new bed. I can't remember when the idea to build a queen frame/headboard first imbedded itself in my brain...though I'm 99% sure it was born out of the need for more space since a lanky, growing toddler used to starfish himself across most of our full-sized bed nearly nightly.
Owen stopped co-sleeping months ago but the bed had already been started and - by golly - I had to finish it. This week we sawed and sanded, hammered and drilled and stained the headboard. Both kids would have done every job (unassisted, of course) if I had only given them access to the power drill and the saw. Sanding was our compromise. And they were surprisingly good at it.
Owen: making sure the backing is niiiiice and smooth.
Everly: testing the nearly finished headboard out.
