Spoiled Stuffed Animals!

For Christmas the kids got Webkins from Grandma and Grandpa Westwood. The idea came about that it would be fun to make them bunkbeds. The stuffed animals that is. So thats what we did as an activity for FHE tonight. We made them from the leftover wood we had from finishing the basement. Kevin cut everything and the kids sanded and nailed them. (Taking the kids to the Home Depot and Lowes classes really helped out in that area). It was pretty cold outside and I said to Kevin, "Doesn't it make you feel good to know your freezing out here (the garage) for a bunch of stuffed animals?

We didn't have enough time to paint them but thats the next step. Then we thought for another FHE we could have the kids learn to sew some mattresses and blankets for them. Only two of them are pictured here. Danika's bed for "Sugar" (a Koala bear) is on the left. She just wanted one bed but notice the ladder. We sure don't want any stuffed animals getting injured while getting into bed ha ha. Spoiled stuffed animals.
