THAT Stinkin’ Little IKEA CHAIR

 

Want to see what i have been doing all morning!!! Building this one stinkin’ little chair….

ALLLLLLLLLLLLLL morning!chair cont 002

 

Miss grade one has been sitting in a regular kitchen chair but it was too low for her to hold her arm up to print properly at her desk.

chair cont 001

These little high chairs are just what we need for her desk and the little's’ to sit at the table with too!!

 

However It seems i have lost my talent to complete the  ordinary IKEA project in 60 seconds flat… as i used to be able to and my maid of honor mocked me for at our wedding :)

 

THAT STINKIN IKEA CHAIR!!!! 003 Like i said….. it took ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL morning to complete…mind you it might have been the little fingers that wanted to help and swiped my tools too that stalled the process….. (picture complements of one laughing- at her mother- teenage daughter -of mine)

But this little crafty coloring lady makes it alllll worth it!

THAT STINKIN IKEA CHAIR!!!! 009

Yep still in her jammies…b/c it really took allllllllll morning –buyer beware;)

AHHHHH vacations !!

 Our 2010 family whistler weekend 069

for us it is more like eeeeeekkkkkk vacations ..they have away of just bringing out the NOT best in kids :(

We have a problem in this season of life ..We literally have two sets of kids!

The bigs and the littles and very quickly it seems, the middles are emerging !

How do you pour into the teen and the preteen and the little lady when you are chasing after  triplets ?

As Mike and I drove home last night…

Our 2010 family whistler weekend 552

exhausted …( you can tell from how everyones hair looks just HOW exhausted we were …he- he ) from the night before - when we thought we could all sleep in one bedroom …with a loft and a pull out couch { NOPE }

He had a king with one of the twins and I had the other twin with Mr. grade 4 in the other king bed……anyways we have concluded that for vacations …to make the the very most of them that we can…..we have to do waay more 1 on 1 and not so much of the 6 on 2 :)
