Boy storage (not for storing actual boys but boy toys!!)

 We're having a toy gun storage problem at our house. Often they are left at random on sofas, tables, floors, etc.

 We need a gun storage box!!!

We bought a simple toy box and I wanted to paint it a lovely blue colour to match the boys room.
But no, he wanted army green. I did try mixing the colour using paint I already had but it was no good, I needed some 'Gooseberry Fool' paint.


I took several breaks in the painting precess, what better than a piece of cake as you watch paint dry! 
 

Today I was given instructions before school as to what text to add to the toy box Ammo box.


A bit of printing, cutting, tracing, measuring, later. . . . . then add a bit of yellow paint.
(and a bit of cake to keep me going . . )


And finally we have a gun / ammo storage box.


We just need a clear out in his room before we get the box into position, but for now its in the front room.
