A Little Change to the Boys' Room

The elementary school teacher (and now literacy coach) in me has always been bothered by the way we stored/displayed the kids' books on a regular book shelf. I had a clear vision of what I wanted, so I called Grandpa Stan and asked him to help me with a project. He met us at Home Depot an hour later. After several hours of careful labor by Grandpa Stan, the boys now have book rails in their room. Yea! The book shelf moved into the closet where it is now being used as storage for books while we rotate books through the book rails.
Thanks, Grandpa! It looks and functions exactly the way I wanted it to. The boys love it too. Owen thanks you for his new bookshelf, and Quincy thanks you for his new climbing apparatus (hopefully those mollies will hold 26 pounds).
