The boys finally did it! Virg's room is now officially: the boys' room. It took no little effort on their part to install the new IKEA furnishings - assembly required. The first challenge was getting the numerous and very large boxes of parts home in the extremely compact (and not at all designed to carry 4 passengers and a bunch of big stuff) family car. Mommy had more than a few "uh-oh" moments on the way home as Daddy turned a corner and the boxes went shimmying towards one or the other of the boys' heads. And that turned out to be the easy part. Next there were the days and nights spent with the hex wrench and hundreds of screws that all look the same, but are slightly different lenghts, creating no lack of undoing and redoing steps along the way. And then there was the fact that many of the maticulously counted out screws, nails, etc. were regularly carted away in one of Virg's construction trucks to be deposited somewhere else in the house at a different construction site altogether. Yet, despite all of these challenges, and with the help of all of the Wierd Al hit albums Daddy could find at the time, the job was done. Emmett has moved in and is very happily installed in the bottom bunk. The roommates seem to be doing quite well during the honeymoon phase of their co-existance. We'll see how long it lasts.
Virg is on call with hammer at the ready.
