Pictures for Grandma

We had a great December. The pictures are from the boys Christmas play and Maxx playing the piano at church. We also had some snow fun and had some much needed time off from work and school as a family. Hope you enjoy Mom!

Desks

One of the best things about my husband is that he can do anything. If I say honey my computer is running slow... he fixes it, honey my car is broken, he fixes it... honey my washer is broke...he fixes it! It is such a blessing to married to a man that is willing to do things for me. A few weeks ago I noticed that the boys school desks were falling apart. I had seen so many cool ideas for pallet furniture on pintrest and thought for sure Luke could build me something. The boys have kind of a rustic room, so I wanted desks to match. They turned out even better than I imagined. Luke built them completely out of palates and used chalkboard for the top. They even open and have a compartment inside. He used 3.5 pallets per desk and was able to build them both for $12.00! The chalkboard top was $10 for a piece that was big enough for both and the hinges were $2.00.
Thanks for all of your hard work!
