PLAY room

For years, I've been wanting to re-organize what was once my office when I was teaching into a play room for the kids. The past few years it has become a little bit of everything but mostly just a catch-all for stuff and wasn't really a useful space. Over the holidays we gave the old office a face lift and it has become the new PLAY room and definitely the most used room in the house. It is also right off the kitchen, the room I'm in the most, so it is really nice to have the kids close by and having fun.

Josie and Benjamin got a cool, new trampoline for Christmas (thank you Liz and Oma!!.) This along with the hammock, art table, easel and "kids" computer make this room a huge hit with both kids. Oh, and we also brought up Marty's iPod and docking station and loaded it with a ton of fun music.

Josie finally has a wall to hang all of her art work.

Putting the desk in the closet saves a bunch of room.

Benjamin loves his new BIG legos and Josie is in the hammock no less than 12 times a day. She often runs in and says "hammock time!" and in response Marty and I sing "It's hammer yo hammer MC hammer yo hammer and the rest can go and play... can't touch this"
