My creative boys



Henry first. The other morning we were sitting around the table having coffee and he started talking about his pontoon boat. We had no clue he had a pontoon until we looked at his little project. Little dude found one of Bryn's barrettes and clipped it between his two boats (made by Grandpa Affeldt) so it resembled the double hulled boat that he wanted.


Jay next. Yesterday he placed the signs below on Bryn and Henry's door and it stayed shut until dinner time. The three of us kept ourselves busy sledding with friends in the a.m. and then spending the afternoon at another neighborhood ice rink.

The finished product!!!





Now let's give credit where credit is due. Karyl made the valences to pick up the brown polka dots in their comforters and said adios to their duck themed ones. Love them!
Can I just say how hard it is to find boy/girl bedding that kinda matches? It's either super girly or covered in mean looking cartoon characters.... Anyway, Jay spent the day painting some pretty cool mountains that completely wrap around the room and covered up all the bright orange/blue and green walls they used to have. The kids love it and so do I. If we can't live in Montana we may as well have a painted version upstairs. The peaks have been named. Bryn's is Avocado Mountain and Henry's is Mt. Sled. Thanks Jay!
Yes, that is Henry's rear end sticking out from under his bed.

LOVE IT! The mountains look great...makes our off-white on every wall and ceiling look pretty boring. Looks like a room well-suited to adventurous, creative kids! Glad we could do our small part with the curtains.
Love, Grandma and Grandpa Affeldt
