I’m early this week…
did you notice?
I’m posting early because tomorrow is going to be a busy, busy day.
It’s a certain someone’s birthday.
He’ll be 6.
And he wants nothing more than a craft desk.
That’s right.
Not legos,
not a Buzz Lightyear toy.
He wants a desk for his creations and treasures.
Michael, Daddy, and I have been working on it for the past week.
We found the perfect desk,
Daddy assembled it,
then Michael and I painted it.
Here’s Michael and I sweating in the hot, humid garage last night, putting the finishing touches on Jack’s desk:
Tonight, Michael asked Jack to sleep in his room so that Daddy and I can rearrange Jack’s room and set up his new desk. We’re all so excited for him :)
Pictures will come soon!

wow!! awesome desk. Happy Bday Jack!!!!
Becca, you’re almost to 52/52 for “Where’s Mom?”. Nice.
Happy Birthday Jack…wow we cannot wait to see the pictures!
that would be so hard for me to hold a flash light and paint with a paint brush, in the heat… and he is concentrating so very hard, working away on his brother’s birthday present. How did he ever do that? What a great brother!
He’s a pretty amazing brother :)
How cute are you guys?! I bet he’s going to love it… can’t wait to see pictures!!
I bet you can NOT wait for morning to get here!!!!!!!!
I’m so glad you found the perfect desk! How exciting! Happy Birthday Jack!!

I am so proud of Michael. Helping his Mom and Dad and keeping it a surprise from Jack. Michael do you remember what it was like when you turned 6 years old? You had no teeth either. But what a great job you did painting the desk for him – and it matches perfectly the bed that Grampa Mike made you and Jack. Wish i had a brother that would make be a desk and paint it too. You will make Jack sooooooo happy on his birthday. Good going and congratulations on doing such a good job. Your brother will love it.
Oh, that is so sweet! You guys are hard at work and Michael has turned into a real helper. I wish I could just stop over and help you guys out, too. I bet Jack is excited! He knows what you guys are up to, doesn’t he? Happy almost birthday, Jack!!! <3
wish we could be there to see his face!!
Love you guys!
I love when the kids get involved in creating the perfect experience for the other kids…it just feels so uplifting. Hope the Birthday Boy loved it.

Oh he’s going to love it. Hopefully there’s enough storage for all his treasures.
