So...it's been a weekend about projects! There have been a few things that I have been wanting to get done for a while now. One being these bookshelves. Tylie loves to read, but every time we would go to grab a book they would all fall everywhere! It would leave me feeling very frustrated and annoyed! I saw these bookshelves on a friends blog (thanks Julie!) a while back and finally got to Home Depot to make it happen! It literally took about 5 minutes to put together. All it is- RAIN GUTTERS! Now let me sell you on these babies! I love that they are low enough for Tylie to reach, and I love that you can see the cover of the book...because let's be honest, we ALL judge a book by it's cover! So here's how they turned out...



Since this project has been complete, all the girl has wanted to do is READ! I swear whoever invented these things is brilliant! She thinks it is so cool, and she always puts her book away before picking out a new one, fabulous!

Next project, converting Ty's crib into a toddler bed= Complete. She is loving having a big girl bed. Knock on wood, haven't had any problems with her getting out of bed and not sleeping, but i'm sure that will happen sooner or later!
One of the best things about having a big kid bed is jumping on her bed while singing... 5 little monkeys jumping on the bed, one fell off and bumped his head mama called the doctor and the doctor said, No more monkeys jumping on the bed!
So, I keep sneaking in her room at night because she sleeps so crazy, but 3 nights down and she has yet to fall out of her bed... Knocking on wood again!
And lastly, I caught Tylie calling Shane while he was at work...one of her favorite things to do. I'll translate for you...
"Hello Daddy. Hi! Hi daddy Hi! You at work? Okay... hmm daddy."

That is seriously too cute! I love the bookshelves. I wish you would have filled the rest of us in on that one before I put an actual book shelf in Chloe's room.

Cute shelves! I never would have thought of rain gutters! You are so much braver than me for starting a big bed already. I'm waiting until my guy's 5.
