Busy Day

Well today was good...I didn't have to work. I actually spent time with the kids doing the whole breakfast thing, then sent Alex off to school and hit the housework. Avril really enjoys having times like that to herself to play. After Alex was home I decided to really hit the building of the bed hard. So we spent the afternoon measuring and cutting (ok, sending it off to Frank's dad to cut) and shopping (always need more wood) and nailing. And there you have it...the next stage complete. I'm quite proud of it. Saturday a guy is bringing a staircase over that I hope to be able to use, then I'll have to figure out how to build a slide. Then all the finishing work - the trim and door and ledge on top and whatnot. Then we'll decide how to paint it or whatever. Tomorrow I'm gonna start painting the room so I can actually put this thing agaist the wall where it goes. Anyway, just thought I'd share. And here are also a few pics of what the kidoes entertained themselves with while I was busy...
