He Loves Me

We all know the Five Love Languages, right? Well, I'm starting to think Dr. Chapman missed a very important language. I know my hubby loves me. He speaks in bookshelves. It started with the hole-in-the-wall-turned-bookshelf and continued with my entire south wall of the dining room.

Then I asked for a shelf to go under my dining room window to hold all the Kindergarten and preschool puzzles, games, activity books and reading books. I wanted three spots to put one-foot-square totes in (hello Target!) to hide all the miscellaneous card games and flash cards and other stuff that doesn't look nice on a shelf. I asked for three short shelves for educational puzzles and games. I needed a couple small cubbies for wrap ups, counting bears and other pattern and sequencing activities. Then of course we needed a couple shelves for books.

I said I wanted it the entire length of the window. Have I ever mentioned I am challenged in the skill of estimating size? I had no idea it would be so huge--look at all this space!
I have room for everything I wanted to put on there--and there's still empty space. Guess it's time to go shopping. . . :D

  6. Trying very hard to keep my jealousy in check and failing miserably. Praise God for a husband who is able to speak your love language! :)

  7. Carrie-Yes, it does. Hope my hubby doesn't figure that out! :)
    Laura--Yes, he is a blessing and multi-talented--although we manage to butt heads in other areas of communication, believe me!
