Earlier this summer Nana found a treasure in her barn: Mama's old desk that she used to study on when she was a girl!
We snuck the desks up to the kids' rooms while they were playing. Mama reminisced about doing homework in her younger days (although not with a Spider-Man notebook). Can you believe she still fits into that little desk seat?
We stowed some writing supplies for the girls so they could put the new desks right to use.
Then it was time! They were both very excited, and kept running back and forth from room to room squealing.
Emily particularly likes her big cabinet for stowing things, and the fact that it used to be Mama's desk.
She promptly opened her book and started doing her "homework", which was writing her name.
Kate was also thrilled, and started working on her homework too.
She really likes the fact that her desk has her name on it. That's always a big hit with Kate.
The girls were so wrapped up in their new desks that they had to be dragged downstairs for snacks and stories. We hope they stay this interested in doing homework!
Thanks again Nana and Tina for the wonderful new (old) desks!
Great job on the old/new desk! Em & Kate look happy to have desks in their rooms.
