The bed part 2~ DONE!!!

Justin is more excited than a diabetic eatin a cupcake! I should know... he gets pretty excited about a cupcake ;0)
So without further ado... here is the finished product.

We still need to hang the desk... which is currently on the floor in the corner holding Lego's.

As a matter of fact... EVERY square inch of the floor under the bed is full of Lego's.

Justin loves his new bed... it was sooo worth building because it made him so happy.

He told me after the first night that he has "such good dreams in his new bed".~Priceless!!!

I do have to admit that it is a little harder to check bg's at night though. I have to climb up the ladder and check a toe or bring a step ladder with me. What are ya gonna do?

Here's another cute pic from his party this weekend... he was acting shy:)

Happy Tuesday!!!

Adventures in bed making... part 1

After weeks of planning there is finally an end in sight. What started out as a birthday wish is now starting to look like one cool loft bed!

Let me take you through our journey over the last several weeks...

First there was a plan...

Then there is a man and his saw...

There is also a little boy who will not be left out of all the fun...

and does quite well on his own...

Sparks flew...

and one bed was attached to the wall...

On a side note: This is the mirror that I won at a school auction. It has all the faces and names of Justin's kindergarten class. Anthony thinks that I should take it down. Me... well the fact that it is so darn cute coupled with the $500.00 price tag(whole other story) kinda makes me feel as if we need to keep it around a few more years.

Okay, back to the bed... it grew a leg for support.

another view for the heck of it...

and some stairs...

Now all I need to do is put a 2nd coat of paint on the bed, paint the stairs, paint the rails and figure out what I am going to do with all his crap! (Before his friends party on Sunday!)

Now the comedy part of the adventures in bed making... throughout this whole adventure my hubby and I have taken part in some interesting conversation. Okay, so it was more like random comments he made and the thoughts in my head right after...

-"this plan is well thought out" (yeah, that's what scares me)

-"you don't wanna come out here and blow me off do ya" (um~ get your mind out of the gutter... he was full of saw dust)

-"your gonna make me blow shit out my nose" (actually I would like to see you do that)

-"I've got it all under control... trust me" (oh boy, that usually means trouble!)

-"I've got ideas for that" (so how much is it going to cost me?)

-"here, I've got 2 double tall boys for ya" (well that was rude)

-"are the chemicals in your hair messing you all up?" (he caught me off guard with that one... I was speechless)

-"your the best" (duh! That's what I've been trying to tell you)

and last but not least...

-"I just broke the stairs... I'm gonna need some stronger wood" (chuckle)

It's been fun! Justin is extremely excited and the bed looks great. I will post more pics after I get the painting done.

Happy Thursday!!!
