Wednesday

Jonathan made this amazing creation this morning. It is a helicopter that can tote cargo like a rescue helicopter, and he made the rotor blades on top. Then, you can take the cargo off, and he flips the rotor blades under and it becomes a submarine. Also, he converts it to a land vehicle that pulls a trailer. I think this is pretty fine work he has done this morning! (Uncle Chris, these are those toys you bought him for Christmas.)

This is our super awesome bookshelf unit from Ikea. Dave went over and got it and put it together Monday evening! I wish I had taken a before picture of this corner of our dining room. We had a coffee table sitting there and it was heaped with art supplies, play-doh stuff, my binders, office supplies, mail stuff, and just a ton of other junk! Junk that we needed to use but had no other space for! Now it is all streamlined and organized! And the bookshelf unit takes up less space than the coffee table! The kids each have their own bin, then there are two bins that they share. Dave's files are going to go in the two boxes on top. And we can even put the laptop on top and pull a dining room chair over and use the laptop there! We are thinking of going back to get a 2 by 2 of the same unit, and use it for more storage and to put the printer on top, and then we can do away with our filing cabinet that currently sits there! I am very excited! Gotta love Ikea!
