We have been brainstorming for quite a while how we were going to get the kids situated once Brooklyn was ready for a big girl's bed. Ryan was dying to build something, and somehow we came up with the idea of a play house bed. There will be a ladder going to a loft bed, and underneath is a playhouse. Ryan bought a few more tools - which he was waiting for an excuse like this to "need" them! He had built the wall frames in the garage throughout the week, and yesterday brought them in to start putting it together!
I am amazed at how quickly he could build what he did, with minimal help from anyone. And what is even more surprising, is how he could figure all of this out. On his own. Without anyone's plans, or classes, or coaching. All him! And it is really sturdy and precise. 
The kids can't wait for this to be done. They already play in the bare bones of the playhouse. Can you tell by the windows and the door the "crooked" aspect? That is completely intentional! If you are not familiar with Crooked Playhouses, click HERE. I've loved the look of them since I saw them on Extreme Home Makeover.
Last night we brought in a smaller mattress for Cannon to sleep on, and he was so excited to sleep in his "house". 
Cannon with his big belly hanging out! With his striped pajamas, we should put bars in the window and make it a little jail house! ... No, I don't want him to be comfortable behind bars. We will keep you posted with the progress!
