Progress on bed making

An update on our attempts to fit four children into two tiny bedrooms.

We had been working on the Green room, as it is affectionately named, only our ideas for that room have grown to include knocking out part of a wall and building a mezzanine level. So we have decided to build the less scary beds in the Pink room first giving ourselves ample time to stress about the other room.

Glenn’s friend from Uni (I win I have kept friends from School and babyhood he can only go as far back as Uni) came around today to help with the lifting and holding. Actually the poor guy spent most of the day playing fetch the right sized screw that I was sure I had somewhere from the local hardware shop. He’s probably not going to come help again for a while.

The girls kept a close eye on the proceedings.

At one stage Sabrina thought it was taking to long and she could get it make quicker.

Then the children decided that since uncle Steven was just sitting there while Daddy worked, he could look at their new costumes. Rather closely. Like I said I don’t think he’s going to want to help for a while.

All joking aside the guys did a great job. I am so thankful that we have a friend like Steven who’ll give us a hand whenever we need it. He will help out with any crazy scheme we come up with and has been there lugging furniture around for us every time we moved, even when we changed houses every year for a while.

Sadly I don’t have a photo of the finished bed or even as finished as we have gotten it tonight. Lani is sleeping in it now so I’ll take a nice photo in the morning and put it up for you to see.

p.s. I love Glenn very very much and only pick on him because he is just so darn cute.
