The playroom!

A few weeks (maybe months!) late...here's a look at our living room transformed to a playroom.

The kids have a little art table along one wall. You'll notice one of the differences between a firstborn and a second-born in this picture: getting to use glue when you're a year and a half. There are so many things that Havilah gets to do simply because we are already doing it with John.

A box of art supplies (more art supplies, games, puzzles, and pretend food items are in the drawers behind Hava):

The beautiful thing about a room devoted to play is that it can also be devoted to the messes that play brings, and it doesn't bother me. Everything belongs in this room so clean up is easy.

One of the book corners, complete with puzzles. (-:

The other side of the room has duplos, blocks, bats and balls, and a couple couches (for jumping on, not usually for sitting!).

This is not in the playroom at all; it's my $12 thrift store find--an orange dresser that's actually quite solid and sturdy. John loves it!
