Theo and Ruby have a house with an attic

The other day, Dad went up to the attic to examine the roof. The kids were permitted to climb up the ladder and take a look, but they weren't allowed to go all the way up because there were a few rolls of insulation lying on the attic floor, left there by the previous house owner.

This apparently left an impression on the kids because today they built a house with an attic using their bunkbed. Theo's bed, on the top bunk, was the attic. It doesn't look terribly impressive, but it kept them busy until I got dinner cooked.



I asked Ruby what they kept up there, and she said, with urgency, "All the pink stuff. But you can't touch the pink stuff because it will scratch you." Then Theo started putting the couch pillows on the top bunk, and he said, "Mom, look at all of our old stuff that we're putting in the attic!"

Bunkbeds are so awesome, so many possibilities! The other day the bunkbed was a spaceship and one other time it was a fishing boat.
