Grandpa B Comes For A Visit

For the week before Labor Day, Grandpa was able to come to our place and help Ken make bunk beds for the girls.  The boys had a lot of fun together, and the bunk beds turned out beautifully.

Grandpa Supervising

Checking the lines, making it straight

Had to include this pic b/c I have no idea what that expression on Ken's face is supposed to mean.

Sanding some more.

Caden really wanted to help but only lasted a couple of minutes at a time.  At one point, he decided to make a picture for Grandpa.  He came into the garage and asked how old Grandpa was.  Ken answered, "29."  He said thanks and then disappeared for a bit.  He came back with this picture saying, "Grandpa I Love You."  29 (okay 2P, but it was supposed to be "29") was written above a drawing of a birthday cake.  He came out a out and showed it off then asked Ken how hold he was.  Ken answered, "33."  He got a slightly confused look on his face, shrugged it off, and then added another birthday cake to the drawing with the number "33" and "dad." 




Pictures of the finished project (okay, this picture was used elsewhere.  We keep intending to paint the guard rail on top but just haven't done it yet, so, this picture will have to do).

Ava getting really tired in Grandpa's lap.

And then she was out.

Self-proclaimed "Most Boring Grandpa in the World," as everyone who got near him fell asleep.  Not boring, Grandpa!  Just "comfortable" (fun to snuggle with).

Hey! Where is the finished product? They must have more work to do. It looks like a great start. I didn't know that was another one of Ken's talents!

Oops, forgot to put in pictures of the finished project on the original post, so, now there are a couple of pics.

Very cute bed! Jeremy needs to make one of those for us too! Maybe Ken can come help! :)
