My summer project

My garage has needed some attention for a long time.  I've just been piling stuff up for months...

So I decided that I would do something about it.  I bought some super sturdy shelves and started putting them together.  My Dad and Emma helped.  When Emma stood up there on the shelf she said, "Is this my big girl bed?"  Bless her heart...no honey, your bed will hopefully be a little softer!

Emma helped with the hammer.  She thought she was something else!

Until...

Oh it was horrible.  I really thought we'd need to go to the doctor.  She was pitiful.

We iced it, cleaned it, added a little medicine, a princess bandaid, and lots of loving and it was much better!

Later, we had a little garage picnic.  

While I worked, Emma played in her water table...she was soaked to the bone! 

It's not the magazine picture look I would love to have, but it's so much better!

There are a few boxes, a cabinet, and some other things that will be heading to other homes shortly and that will make it even better!

One project down...
