glimpses from the bonus room

I spend lots of time in this room above the garage, aka the bonus room.
It's a mulitpurpose room; office, craft area, and play room. I just love it.
It's not pretty yet, but the function is awesome.
It also has five windows from which I can see the back yard and front yard.
My older boys can play outside and I check on them through the windows. It's perfect.

Here are some of my glimpses from the bonus room.
*getting ready for a Sunday dinner get together

*Tanner, waiting for dad to come home

*Kyle and Jordan playing football with neighbors across the street

*my mowers

*Tanner ready for church and waiting for the rest of the fam

These are things I like. I have seen things I don't like (boys behavior) so I will come down and intervene and they look at me like, "how did you know?"
How much longer can I get away with "Moms know everything"?

That room sure does come in handy! I think you can continue to amaze the kids that you are all-knowing. I won't let the secret out of the bag.

Love those pictures of Tanner patiently waiting by the tree. And your double-decker lawn-mower!

I LOVED having our bonus room too when we lived in Tooele. It was soo nice. I loved being able to look out and see the kids in the front and back, just like you!
Those are some great pictures! And I am just like you, "momma knows everything..." is what I always tell the kids!! So just keep letting them believe it! haha
What a cute post.

I so wish I had one of those rooms. That is awesome. Your neighborhood looks so beautiful. I'm glad you are happy there.
