Summer Stories ~ Kids at home

September 15, 2015

It was raining today and for most of the weekend, which puts me a cozy frame of mind. A perfect day to share the "at home" photos in this series of summer stories.

Today's story: Kids at home

Three years ago Damien made the girls their beds. This summer, before we left the peninsula, Damien converted those beds into built-in desk loft beds. The girls sanded, stained, and varnished their own desk. We purchased Laurent's faux-wood desk at IKEA.

The loft beds are awesome, except in the worst heat of summer. The girls have a large fan in their room, but on the hottest nights of the summer the oscillating motion didn't provide enough direct air movement for both the girls. So we converted the bean bag chairs into a mattress and moved Brienne to the living floor for those nights. That way, each kid got their own fan for a lot of direct air flow on those 30+ deg C nights.
