Yay!

We finally got the chests of drawers and book shelves from Ikea put together and they look great in the girls' room.

Mark and his thinking cap.

Samuel is so proud to be the one to empty the box and sort its contents.


My two men hard at work.

Samuel pooped out before the project was complete.


The finished product.

It was after midnight when the first dresser was put together so we waited till Monday to assemble the other one. Now the girls have their own dressers and life is good again. They're just excited not to have to share. The only problem is now they argue over clothes since they have shared for so long. For a while there they were both wearing the same size pants. They're big girls now so they need their own separate stuff. I'm happy with how their room looks now and I think they are too. It stinks being poor.

I can't believe how big Samuel is. That is so cute he was poop out before they were done. And how cute that he wanted to help his dad.

$60. It was a really good deal. We got two of them.

They are sturdy and they even come with a strap so you can attatch it to the wall so it doesn't fall over on the kids.

Very cool! We went to Ikea Saturday and found those, but decided to get the smaller one - the three shelf one. Visions of Sam climbing to the top made us go towards the smaller one. Thanks!!!
