The odds are against me, but I'm making progress

It's been a challenging week. Adam is off track and in need of constant entertainment. Sadie has been even more emotional than usual, if you can imagine that, and busy little Tyler has been making non-stop messes like this...

On top of everything else, temperatures have been frigidly cold, and the kids have a serious case of cabin fever. I try to send them outside for a few minutes everyday so Tyler can nap in peace, but it has just been to cold to make it last very long.

Despite the challenges, I am actually making real progress on Sadie's new bed. I made it through my first box of 100 screws.  The railings are well underway and should be complete mid-week in time to borrow Cory's truck to go get the boards for the playhouse portion on the bottom. Then, I will just need to find someone to borrow a jigsaw from so I can cut the door and windows out.  I have really enjoyed working on this, but I think I will wait for warmer temperatures next time I plan a major project.  I have spent a lot of time in my garage in freezing temperatures with no heat.  I hope Miss Sadie loves it when it's done!
