He's done it again

Two years ago he finished the basement, last year it was built in's in the playroom and now Allen has redesigned my Laundry room so that I can store as much stuff as possible. I took this picture when Thomas ran upstairs to get a tank top on and a hat like Daddy. He was so cute. Allen built cabinets on one wall, and the opposite wall he put up hooks and organizers for all the backpacks, coats, lunch bags, shoes etc. Also a shelf across the top for more Stuff.

There is so much stuff with 4 kids and never enough space. This makes it so much nicer

Lots of craft stuff in the cabinet

Lots of appliances

Just lots of stuff.

We brought an old dresser in there to hold more craft stuff. Everything has a home now.

This past weekend

Allen and his friend spent the day chopping up firewood. They both had a blast doing it. This picture is of Allen that his friend Leland took on his phone. They both had a blast doing this but are feeling a tad bit sore today. Here is the result... Lots of firewood for the fireplace and firepit this winter.

While the Men were out working hard. The kids were busy decorating a GingerBread House.
