Where It All Happens...

This is our first year of doing school in our bonus room upstairs. Until now it has always been in the dining room, but it was just getting too crowded in there! So after one week of school I am thrilled to say that I am so happy we moved it upstairs. I love all the space, and being away from the temptation to sneak away to do dishes or laundry is helping me stay more focused on the job at hand.

Luke's desk is in the left corner and Kendall's in the right corner....

I must say that K has the best seat in the house...

The perfect thing I was looking for...found it at IKEA of course. It reaches the whole way across our long wall....

Bo and Noah's table, full of fun stuff for them (3 little baskets for $3.99 at IKEA)....

They usually only are allowed in here one at a time because it stays calmer that way. The other one will play in their room or the playroom downstairs and keep rotating around. So far it's working out well and the boys are learning to stay with a 'project' longer than 2 minutes... :)

That is Will's desk there under the map. This is his first year at a desk. He likes it but rarely uses the chair. He likes to do everything standing up I've noticed...

You can see a little junk here in the left corner...stuff that needs to go up to the attic. There always seems to be one pile left no matter how good the rest of a room looks....

And that is that. Loving it. Wanting a big cozy rug for the middle of the floor, but waiting til I can find one pretty cheap.
