Projects with the Parents

My parents came up a couple of weeks ago to work on some home improvement projects. The big project of the day was to build a workbench and shelving in the garage. All of the boxes that had been lining our garage are now up and out of the way. Just what projects will be done at the workbench? No one knows. But, Scott has installed ipod speakers out there, so he's ready.

I also have shelves above our washer and drier, which I love very much. I can now hang my non-dryables in the laundry room instead of draping them all over our bedroom. It's a significant amount of clothing due to genetically inherited monkey arms.

Thanks to pinterest, my mom and came up with a project to work on as well. We made a mobile out of balloons, yarn, and watered down glue. Since this picture was taken we've finally bought Benson a real crib. I'm a little sad that I can't rig up his crib mattress like I had the pack'n'play. I had it set up like the cribs in the hospital with the head of the bed elevated and a "nest" for him to sleep in. It really helps with congestion. We're happy with our purchase, though, and will hopefully get many years of use from it.
