Our main present to the girls this year was a set of bunk beds. And since Spencer's hobby is woodworking, we decided to build castle bunk beds. They weren't ready for Christmas, so the girls were able to help us the week after Christmas. Their "help" with the painting lasted...ooohh...maybe 10 minutes!
Once everything was painted we brought the pieces into the room for assembly. Everything was attached with screws, so it can be taken apart and moved if needed. Once assembled, it weighs about as much as a castle...so it doesn't move!
Here is the finished castle! Hailey sleeps on the bottom and Makenzie gets the top. They both have rope lights that circle the bed and some personal shelves to keep their books and other goodies.
After we finished, I asked Spencer if he minded that after building a cool castle he had to paint it pink and purple. He said, "Nope. I've got two girls. I'm just thankful I could build a castle and not a dollhouse!"
Here is how Makenzie likes to get down!
