New School Room








OK, it looks a little disorganized, but it works for us. We have a gate system, so we can keep J in since he is starting to scoot. We have moved the cabinet with the homeschool stuff downstairs and set up desks for the Elf and the Emperor is using the computer desk for his work. It will be nice to have everything in one place again like I did in the kitchen. But it also now works for baby J, and I won't have to wait until naptime to teach or feel afraid that he's getting into something. When Elf and Emperor were younger we had this area set up as well. We called it "the cage." You should have seen the Emperor's therapist when she came over and the kids wanted to show her their cage LOL!! Actually it is a very NICE gate system with the advantage that it is specially designed to be used near fireplaces and stoves. You can probably see our woodburning stove in some of the pics. It gets VERY VERY hot. Literally, I brushed some of my skin on it once for a very small fraction of a second, and let me tell you that *people* make that same yummy sizzling sound as chicken when it hits the pan. They smell a little wierd cooked too. So anyway, putting your kid in "the cage" and hanging out with him there is much less cruel than the potential consequences. Just saying.

Bringing Garbage Home

Some people up the street were throwing this table away. It was in pretty bad shape and one of the legs was off. I've glued the leg back...
