Writing on the walls...

I'm supposed to be in bed right now, so don't tell my mom and dad that I'm on the computer.

Yesterday was a great day- I finally got mom and dad to agree to let me install the chalkboard.  Mom and dad built the frame and dad sanded the slate so it was a smooth surface.

They also had to help me carry it upstairs, but I got the screws ready in the pieces of wood. 

        

 

It took a lot of work with the level, since this is upstairs where the plaster walls aren't flat or true.

 

Mom and dad held it in place while I screwed it onto the wall.  (okay- they'd say they did all the work, but who do you believe- adults, or a 1 1/2 year-old)?

Here's the proof of me putting in the last screw...

 Oh- and one last picture of  trying out the chalk on the chalkboard... (mom said I had to wear my carharts while I was working, but I could take them off if I was just drawing on the chalkboard)!

That is briliant. I wish that I had a wall that I could use like that for our kids, they would love it (we have a 19-month old and a 5-year old, both red heads).
