Book Shelf Re-do...

...for one dollar! Yes, One dollar ya'll! I all ready had all the supplies! Soooo, I finally sanded down this old bookshelf I found at a rummage while walking with Jake and the girls.
I have to tell this story, it is one Jake and I are not proud of but are now laughing at. We were only 3 blocks into our walk when we stopped at a rummage. Of course Isabelle wanted out of the stroller so we let her while I browsed. There was a plastic pool for sale with another kid or two testing it out, so Isabelle stepped in with them. Upon purchase of our 1 dollar bookshelf we said we'd be back to pick it up on our way home. We continued our walk, about 3 houses down I realized that there were just cowgirl boots in Isabelle's seat and NO ISABELLE!!! Quickly I said to Jake 'oh my goodness turn around NOW!' Yep we left our oldest playing in an empty plastic pool. Oh man, it's funny now but not at the time. Oh my heart dropped for minute as I quickly ran back, scooped her up and put her back in the stroller. I don't care if your kid is just crawling or 2 and half, they are fast little buggers and need our attention 24/7.

On that note, here are the pics of the book shelf completed. The picture wouldn't be complete with out Isabelle posing, I guess it's appropriate seeing as how we almost left her behind for that dollar shelf.
