Stone sheepfold John 10:22-30 Recently my boys have been spending a great deal of time outside in the area that will soon be transformed into our garden. They spend endless hours digging in the dirt for worms. They then promptly take those worms and throw them to the chickens. It amazes me how even chickens can learn to recognize sounds or voices.

New Bunk Beds for the Boys - 2

Posted by on
Sorry for the delay but here you will find the mostly finished bunk beds we were working on in April and into May.  The boys are always helpful when I start a project like this and I am sincerely grateful for that.  I'm planning on offering a PDF download of the plans in the near future if you'd like to make something similar.

Almost complete.  Put the smallest boy on top, he won't hit as hard.

S contemplating life as the sunrises.

The bunk beds aren't perfect but they suit us very well.  They give each boy their own bed with ample storage space for all of their treasures.  The next step will be installing shelves and reading lights for each bed.  Thanks for reading!
