Window Panes don't have to hurt!

August 13, 2009

We have been talking about moving Penelope from her crib into her toddler bed but were a little worried about her windows being so low. I have heard a lot of stories of little ones falling out of windows and want to make sure Penelope is safe if she is going to be able to climb out of her bed. I went online and looked up the options for window guards and all of them were pricey and not very attractive. So I came up with an idea and asked Chris if he would make window guards that looked like a picket fence. You see, my plan is to decorate Penelope's room to look like she is outside and I thought the picket fence would be really cute. So this is what Chris came up with... and while price is not an issue when it comes to your little ones safety I have to tell you that it cost him less then $15.00 to make these. Which beats the $60+ price tag we would have to pay for each window if we bought some. He even made them so that they will easily slide out in case of a fire. This is what they looked like after Chris painted them, look how safe Penelope looks peering out from behind her fence. ;)

By the way, Chris came up with the title to this post. He thinks he is so clever. *sigh*
