b.boards!

i found myself becoming frustrated with the little space i had to peg things up.  with out wanting to destroy my wall, i had to come up with an idea. the average cork board costs 10.00.  i calculated that i would need/want  at least 4.  that would be a min of 40!

so instead, chris and i brainstormed and came up with this brilliant idea!

we took old floor mats that were full of holes and marks,  put down new ones (i had bought 2 extra packs for this purpose) took the old mats and made them into cork boards! 

i then rummaged through material that i had around the house and we had enough to cover them all!

so i got 5 new bulletin boards to hang things up!

i can't get over how much easier school was this morning.  everything was hung up and ready to go.  i asked nate to go and get his books out, in the order that he wanted to do them and we were done in 2 hrs.  yeah!  this system is working. and with kids, just when you think you have it figured out....they change. hahaha

for a more detailed account on making the boards, check out chris's blog...

off to find another project for chris
