Bunk bed looks great! The boys will love having their own little kingdom up there. Maybe you could hang a blackout curtain in the door way of the bathroom that you can pull back during the day? It would solve the light problem and not take up too much room. Enjoy that first full night of sleep Tara!
The best part of hanging a blackout curtain is that you do not have to make holes. You can hang the curtain with a tension rod. I know, it has worked for me for over a year.
Love the bunk beds, this will come in handy when you have company staying with your family and they have little kids as well. I know having the ladders to climb on to their beds will add to the excitement of going to bed for the boys. Great video today!
Another master piece by John. The kids are going to love them. It may take a few days for them to accept the separation, but you will have to be consistent if they climb into your bed just gently put them back into they own beds, only tell them once this is your bed now, if they do it again no talking just put them back. Be Brave!!!! Xxx
Your little boys are so funny and living their best life. Joao is so patient with them and they seem to love spending time with him. So lovely to see xx
Those crates for the boys are wonderful. I watched another family use them. It is such a nice system. I am catching up with all ‘my’ people while I am recovering from a hip replacement. Sundays are my favorite you tube days. Fun bedroom guys. Hope you all get a better night’s sleep. Love from California ❤❤❤❤
KiwiCo is amazing Yvonne! We absolutely love what they offer and the boys just can’t get enough. Sending you lots of love and hope the recovery goes well friend ❤️❤️
Brilliant idea. You are showing your children how much you love them and how they belong to the family. Being on a farm with lots of land, you can keep a better eye on them near you at night. The American Indians kept their children close to them and gave them comfort. I love how you both are on the same page. You both are wonderful loving parents.
" Let's just do it", preceeded by careful thought, led to instant action! John you are an amazing man, helped always by your constant support and inspiration, Tara. The bunk beds look fabulous and Cruso's excitement when the slats were being put in shows how well this will be accepted. WOnderful! Loved seeing the boys with Joao planting seeds, both so busy trying to get their point of view across, marvellous! Joao is very very special, and has proved to be a blessing over and over again. Here's to sleep. May it also be blessed to you all. 🌹ps Tara, that's my favourite sweater of all the ones you wear! Never fails to make you look really good. Thank you.🌻
John you built an innovative safe excellent, fun design, creative adventure bunk beds. That both your boys will love and prefer to sleep in, Brilliant John !!!!!
The little boys, talking at once made me giggle in the animation of their hands and their little shirts to hold the peas so enjoyable. Excited for the bunkbed to be finished. Great job.!
Oh Tara, I feel for you! My boys are 19 months apart and it was a full time job taking care of them, never mind the household, the day job, etc! I can so relate! But, don't fret for too long because every moment is precious and before you know it they are 44 and 42 years old like mine! Make sure you take care of yourself and the boys will benefit from it. You are doing such a tremendous service to them. They are adorable, smart, inquisitive, and well rounded with all the things that you and John are teaching them. I love your little family. Thank you for sharing your lives with us.
Good idea john. Sleep will come Tara. Cheers. Gina in Upstate New York USA moving to Portugal/Italy. I was a single mum after 6 weeks my son was in his crib while I nursed him for 6 months. I went back to my job after 6 weeks had to sleep even though I was self employed. He went to day care 3 days a week. I had no john to help. Have never really. On my own Life is good just different. It was really tough. I admire the two of you working together. Hugs
Tara, it's nice to know that I'm not the only wife living with a husband that grabs any towel to use. Usually is one of my favorites. It must be a man thing 😊 Beds look awsome.
John , I think the bunk beds turned out great !!! This gives you more space in the room ! And hopefully everyone gets a good nights sleep 💤🙏. …. Someday , when the new house is built and you have a whole bedroom to YOURSELVES - with a bathroom door -- you’re not only going to feel like royalty , but you’re going to wonder how you ever shared cramped quarters ! 😳😜🤣. Sweet dreams !!! ❤
This was so funny, two boys talking at the same time, really important things, it looks like! At the end Crusoe managed to tell how good they are until.....there came OBI! I giggled so much! Joao is THE helping hand everywhere! It is so great to see him doing all the jobs!! Sometimes I ask myself, has he learned all this craftsmanship already at home, which would make sense if you see his great upbringing, and so he is a big contribution to your family! Or is it the other way arround and John shows him new ways of building with wood! However, you all are a match made in heaven!! The bedroom is looking so good and I can´t wait to see it finished! Well done!
Talk about having your hands full! The boys should sleep well after all of that stressful gardening!😂 Hopefully you both will, too! Joal is like family to you all. How very fortunate you are to have him. He has all of the patience in the world with the boys and Obi, bless him. The build looks great to me. The boys will feel they have their own fort!😂❤
I think Obi enjoyed that package as much as the boys did. I loved this video! It's great to watch a project come together from start to finish so quickly. Crusoe was so excited about it when he realized what it was. It may take some time for the boys to stay up there. You'll just have to be persistent. Don't give in to them. Eventually, they will stay in their own beds.
Good Sunday Morning Newby family, glad one problem solved for all of you. I was thinking of a sofabed in the living room you built but then you want your children close by. Great idea bunk beds on top of you all. Hope you are sleeping well now. Sawyer and Crusoe with Joao planting seeds was one highlight of your video today. One reason we are all here seeing your family growing well on the farm in your home now in Portugal. Obrigada🙏💖🥰👍👱👶🐶🏘️🌄🇵🇹
❤❤ an excellent solution to a cramped sleeping arrangement. You can always place your pillows at the traditional bottom of the bed and no worries with night movements to wake you up. Wishing you both a good night's sleep and that the boys dream well.
More I think about it, if I were you, I’d get on Amazon and order black out curtains to hang across the front of the boys bed. My daughter in law just received a short black out curtain for my granddaughters bedroom window. They work so well. Kids are crazy about bunk beds. This is brilliant.
Just love the new beds for the boys. Well done John. As for the boys talking at once that is so cute almost competing to see who can get their say in first. As usual take care and be safe. ❤
John is amazing. A true craftsman. You should make blueprints of your woodwork and video each of you building the product (which you already do) and market them. Oh, and I like the new haircut but miss the man bun,lol The boys are hysterical. The beauty of having a brother and a dog and two loving parents. You two are perfection as mom and dad. Much respect and love from a forever fan of your channels
Every time John says "let's build" I get so excited?! Because I know, even if it takes ten videos to get to the end of the build it's so worth it! The boys are definitely ready for their own beds! Gotta get in practice for their own rooms!! My goodness the boys are sure full of energy in that sunshine! I sure hope the new house doesn't mean we won't see John build anything again!???
Good luck with the new bunk beads. Hope you can finally get some better rest, 😴 Tara. This was a fun show. You did guys such a good job capturing the chaos and fun of having little 2 boys and a dog😊
Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer! The fab four! Not the Beatles! And let's not forget João! The fifth element! Amazing! Wish you many good nights sleep! Sweet dreams and enjoy a well deserved rest!
Well done John on the bunkbeds!! This should definitely help with everyone sleeping a but better! Hope the first night in your new beds was bliss. And, wow!! I can't believe how much work those diggers got done!! 😮
Very cool 😎 I love watching your interaction with the boys. I think the bed looks amazing. I hope it's the solution you are looking for! Thanks for letting me tag along!😊
I am sending you all the positive thoughts for many peaceful nights sleep to come 💤💤💤 The floating beds are going to be such fun for the boys to have. Like little mini dens with all there things there too, and it's going to be such a relief for you both to have a little more space to yourselves - Shelves of any kind are not to be underestimated! You have my sympathy at having to make the beds before with little to no space to actually make them (with carpentry or housekeeping skills) as I dream for the day when our bedroom is big enough for me to make our bed without having to climb over it! *Hugs * to you all! xx
I can’t believe how Sawyer is growing. He’s catching up to Cruso…and so gabby. Nothing slows those little guys down. They are full steam ahead, lol. Oh, just wondering; do you have something that can act as a curtain in front of the doorway to the bathroom to pull closed at night while brushing your teeth and bedtime routine. Or blackout curtain by the boys bed. Used to have those for long train rides years ago….that could be kind of fun for the boys. Their own little privacy space. Sometimes important to little ones. My daughter used to tell me, “Mommie, I need my privacies” (from her little brother😉)
He is very chatty now Diane! Catching up to Crusoe very quickly. Using something to act as a curtain is a lovely idea, thanks for the suggestion. “Privacies” is important 😉❤️
Hi John and Tara……well as always, a marvellous creation by John! 😮❤ I do hope that the boys have settled into their new bed really well and you’re all getting some quality sleep! Fingers crossed! I have just caught up on the last weeks episodes as I’ve been away…..also your Borneo trip….how marvellous to see the elephants! Now looking forward to the start of your new house build! How exciting these next years are going to be! Best wishes and ❤ to all Julie 😊
Hi Julie. John amazes me every single day, he is just incredible. Our Borneo trip was magical friend, we are so thankful we were able to go and see what we saw! Thanks for all the support 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
I had 5 kids... They were out of my bedroom at 8 weeks... It was important to have a good night's sleep inbetween the feeds... though often wake up with bub in bed after early morning feed... So... I never had that problem! The reason was because I saw other parents that have endured the consequences of their decisions... Wasn't for me! I had to hit the ground running in the morning as we were on a farm too! Have you planned on making any thing for Christmas...??? Enjoy your Zzzzzzz... Blessings to all ❤
Looking great I really hope you get some good sleep, there is nothing worse than getting hardly any sleep each night as it builds up until you are like a zombie. Kids are incredible as they might get crumpy and fussy when they are tired but they have boundless energy, unlike us! That close up of Obi was so gorgeous x
Children sleeping in the parents bed, never, even from a new born I always had my own room, My own children never slept in our room even though when No. 6 came along and 5 were girls in a 3 bed house, definitely sardine territory, the boy was lucky with his own box room. Managed to find a 4 bed quite close for a good price but it needed work. If you pushed your bed against the wall on one side there would have been room for a standard bunk bed for the children and for a solid partition to separate yours from it so no problems with the light waking them.
Hi Newbys! Fingers crossed for a good nights sleep Tara! I enjoyed watching the chaos of family life with toddlers knowing that I'm not the one who has to live with it! 😂
These boys are going to grow up knowing more than most adults! Once you mentioned home schooling and I think that is terrific. Being a retired public school educator, my colleagues may not agree! However, we are in a scary, unknown future in the USA. John and Tara, you are exceptional parents. God will continue to bless you as you proceed on. Being a lover of music, maybe the use of music would be enjoyed by the boys . Good help for math skills also!! By the way, the boys look more alike daily. You are loved by all of us. Good luck on the bunks! Joel is your adopted brother! Pat, from Michigan USA.
22 years in the classroom. Now wishing I had homeschooled my 3 sons. I definitely would if they were school age now. Imagine, the experiences they could have had. We live between Boston and Cape Cod, have family in NC and Florida. Museums, outdoor adventures, gardening, traveling... there's so much more to life than the hours spent in a classroom. ❤
My dad was born in England and raised in Windsor. I have a few cousins there. We went there often. Canadians are fun people! Thank you for your best wishes. I can’t imagine Trump wanting to place a tariff on Canada. It will never happen! Where do you live in Canada?
I think they need to integrate in the community and learn the language..which won’t happen while isolated at home with parents who don’t speak Portuguese.
How good is João with the boys, he really is like their big brother. Loved Crusoe explaining everything to you and ending with ‘then Obi’ 😂😂. The bunk bed is looking great, so glad you have done it, the boys and yourselves definitely need your own space. It will also help when you all move into your new home and they have their own rooms xx
I hope it's all worked out for you and you're now getting some decent sleep. One thing I did think watching the end of the video was it's going to be fun trying to make those beds! Crusoe might have a crash course in sheet changing coming up! As an idea, if you don't have the space for a door to the bathroom, you can either put a simple curtain up to block the light, or (to really ramp up the "fort" for the boys), hang curtains over their own beds. That would give you the option to have a low light on under their beds when getting ready for bed at night, without disturbing the boys.
What a great build John! The boys are hilarious love watching their antics, such good company for each other. You are both such sensational parents, your boys are so lucky and will have the best of lives, thanks to their great start in life 😊
If falling out becomes a problem, then somehow, sorry, john, i have no idea how, make some sort of gate system for the gaps that maybe locks in place once the boys are in bed. Like the sides of a cot. You close it once they're in there. Great job, tho john. Amazing brain to just figure it all out.
You could sleep in a bank- bed. A good one is expensive but very confortable. Providing you fold it up every morning it is very practical. Then you could let the boys have their own room.
Glad Joao has a good sense of humor 😂. Beds look fantastic. We built a similar “loft” bed and play area for our youngest daughter and she loved it so much! As Elizabeth commented, Crusoe was just beside himself with excitement when he looked up at the slats going in and the cool space being created just for him and his brother. So fun! Can’t wait to see it all finished out. I know it will be a beautiful bedroom ❤ Cheers!
Tara & john, what an awesome mommy & daddy! "What's the rule about playing with Daddy's toys? I mean TOOLS"! LOL 😆 Hilarious in the garden, both of them chattering away as if you can hear what they're saying 🤣 & then Cruzo saying to Daddy, "Uh Oh" like he made a mistake & measured the bed too short! 😅 Your vids always make me giggle! You guys fill my heart with joy! Good job John & sweet dreams Tara!❤❤❤😂
I love your video’s. I feel like I personally know you and your family. Your boys are adorable. I admire all the work you have put into your farm. Keep the videos coming.
The bed looks great!! And, wow! Super fun for the boys😊! This is a great space saving solution that actually adds to the appeal of the room, and you're left with a lot of useable space. We'll done! 😊Lauren😊
😊 Though, I've followed you "lot"😜 from the very beginning; this is really my very first comment to you. How you two even have time to 'view' in a week, then 'edit' then "pick" the 'music' and lastly send it all done off to TH-cam in time for the weekly show is nothing short of a "blo--- miracle". Anyway, thanks so very much for all you do. As usual, I really enjoyed today's episode as well : "The whole redoing of the upstairs bedroom with the kids now sleeping above your heads". Also loved the funky disco track you used. Can't wait till next week...😃 Un fuerte abrazo a todos.
Hi Steven. It’s great to hear from you friend. Thanks for taking the time to comment today! Your support means so so much to us. Thanks for being here 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This build is very cool John. I made a floating and regular headboard for a twin bed and would like to do a frame for my full sized one. I just love getting ideas from you guys!
LOL! The boys are just so funny today! I guess little boys are pretty much the same, wherever they are. 🥰God bless Joao.. everybody needs a Joao to make life go a little smoother! We have a big, off the floor bunk bed for my grandson.. They are so great for saving space! Under his we park all of his toys and toybox, and a little space for pillows and blankets where we read books. It works out great. 👍And so much fun! As always, love to see the vision become reality when John starts building.😍Take care, see you next time! ❤🙏🏡🚜🌞🔨🪛🪚
Why dont you sleep one night or two in the tiny house when you are exhausted, Tara? John could do the same later, so the kids are not alone if thats the problem.
I think the issue might be that the boys want to be with mum. With my grandkids when they were little that was the case anyway. So going to the tiny house to sleep may not work.
That solution works well in the room- it feels so much more spacious now. Later you might find that making the boys’ beds a bit fiddly to make up. ( difficult to access). Perhsps when John has more time he could work out a mechanism for folding the guard rail down while bunk bed- making? Would need a safety catch to prevent the boys unlatching of course. I’m always gob smacked at John’s creative woodworking!
Well done John - great solution. I love how creatively you are using the space you have to create a warm and cosy family home. Tara - hope you get a better nights sleep now 🙂
I hope you were able to sleep well. I love the holiday bed idea. John can build anything. Your patience with the kiddos and all the stuff that is happening is amazing Tara ❤
I am always amazed at John’s creativity and his ability to work with the boys around. I wish you all sweet dreams and restorative sleep. Tara, I’m also amazed at your flexibility, patience and endurance. Love watching ya’ll.
That is a wonderful solution to your bed problem. It’s an amazing bunk bed. I think most of us would have been thinking of it being beside your bed. But leave it to John and he has created something stunning. Well done. Lots of good ZZZZZZZZ for everyone. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
NICE bunks!!! Had it my head for their heads to be opposite… but I like Your idea better!!! Good luck changing the bedding. So glad John is Tall! Hope y’all get some good rest now! *Taras’ giggle. Too cute!
Loving it all needed wort for the boys❤it really took me back to my mom and mine work for very similar work for my two boys work and testing area....we slept in a similar area ....wonderful moment for all of us🤗💝🥰💯💫👍
So far so good! I always wait in such anticipation to see the end result and it's hard waiting 😅😅 so I hope Wednesday we will get to see the end product.
Well! The world has positively loved the bunk bed solution! And John, it’s a treat to see you score the perfect ‘build’ yet again! Sooo resourceful and focused on providing a winning solution for this sleeping comfortably issue. Done! And the blackout curtain for the bath….another perfect solution! Just wondering if the outdoor shower is useful? Great for rinsing most of the dirt off before using the washing machine! I would! And I can see the boys using that in their teens…… Happy Holidays to all, including Joao and Mario and their families. I too, wonder if Joao is learning so much from John? Or does he know how to build already? I’m thinking he knows the farming existence from his own family. He is still so shy! And so wonderful with the little boys! Ginger from Michigan
Hi Ginger! Great to hear from you. To be honest we haven’t really used the outdoor shower as we always have someone on the farm. I’m sure the boys will love it when they’re a bit older! John loves working with Joao, we are so appreciative of all his help 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hi Newbys. Love the bunk beds for Crusoe and Sawyer. Another original idea and piece of furniture by John. However, where is Obi Watermelon going to sleep. That's the next project, making a bed for Obi.
Great project Newbys can't wait to see the final touch sure the boys will love it / Almost had a feeling John would go for one of those Danish traditional farmer's built in pocket beds but love the design
Oh Tara, you remind me of my "tired" daughter. She has 4 and 2 year olds....and teaches 24 Grade 1 students. You are at a very busy time in your boy's life. I hope the new bed situation helps you all get good sleep. I love it when John says, "Let's build." ❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
🥳🥳 Yay! While I too loved my babies in our bed, there definitely comes a time for more space. Great solution for your space that I clearly visualised when you first mentioned it a few months ago. Looking forward to seeing the ladders and bedside tables complete. Great work as always John 👍
Genius idea John looks great, Tara. Why don't you put a pull down blind so the light from the bathroom doesn't disturb the boys? It also would look like a wide picture above your bed ❤
NOW it feels like the holidays because Renee posted a Vlogmas video! ❤ Thank you for sharing your special ornaments and your sweet family traditions! I hope you feel 100% soon!

@TheNewbys that's what I would suggest too is blackout curtains. You could maybe even frame it in some like the old cupboard beds

Joao is THE helping hand everywhere! It is so great to see him doing all the jobs!!

John is amazing. A true craftsman. You should make blueprints of your woodwork and video each of you building the product (which you already do) and market them. Oh, and I like the new haircut but miss the man bun,lol
The boys are hysterical. The beauty of having a brother and a dog and two loving parents. You two are perfection as mom and dad.
Much respect and love from a forever fan of your channels
Lovely idea to make blueprints friend, if we had the time to do it we will! 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼

You will definitely see John build Linda. He absolutely loves it and is amazing at it too 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Good luck with the new bunk beads. Hope you can finally get some better rest, 😴 Tara. This was a fun show. You did guys such a good job capturing the chaos and fun of having little 2 boys and a dog😊
Thanks so much Delisa 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Tara, John, Crusoe and Sawyer! The fab four! Not the Beatles!
And let's not forget João! The fifth element! Amazing!
Wish you many good nights sleep! Sweet dreams and enjoy a well deserved rest!
Thank you Nicas! 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Well done John on the bunkbeds!! This should definitely help with everyone sleeping a but better! Hope the first night in your new beds was bliss. And, wow!! I can't believe how much work those diggers got done!! 😮
Very cool 😎 I love watching your interaction with the boys. I think the bed looks amazing. I hope it's the solution you are looking for! Thanks for letting me tag along!😊
Thanks Warren, we love sharing these things with you too! 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
I am sending you all the positive thoughts for many peaceful nights sleep to come 💤💤💤
The floating beds are going to be such fun for the boys to have. Like little mini dens with all there things there too, and it's going to be such a relief for you both to have a little more space to yourselves - Shelves of any kind are not to be underestimated!
You have my sympathy at having to make the beds before with little to no space to actually make them (with carpentry or housekeeping skills) as I dream for the day when our bedroom is big enough for me to make our bed without having to climb over it!
*Hugs * to you all! xx
That's a very smart solution. Hopefully you all were able to get a good night's sleep!
I can’t believe how Sawyer is growing. He’s catching up to Cruso…and so gabby. Nothing slows those little guys down. They are full steam ahead, lol.
Oh, just wondering; do you have something that can act as a curtain in front of the doorway to the bathroom to pull closed at night while brushing your teeth and bedtime routine. Or blackout curtain by the boys bed. Used to have those for long train rides years ago….that could be kind of fun for the boys. Their own little privacy space. Sometimes important to little ones. My daughter used to tell me, “Mommie, I need my privacies” (from her little brother😉)
He is very chatty now Diane! Catching up to Crusoe very quickly. Using something to act as a curtain is a lovely idea, thanks for the suggestion. “Privacies” is important 😉❤️
Hi John and Tara……well as always, a marvellous creation by John! 😮❤ I do hope that the boys have settled into their new bed really well and you’re all getting some quality sleep! Fingers crossed! I have just caught up on the last weeks episodes as I’ve been away…..also your Borneo trip….how marvellous to see the elephants! Now looking forward to the start of your new house build! How exciting these next years are going to be! Best wishes and ❤ to all Julie 😊
Hi Julie. John amazes me every single day, he is just incredible. Our Borneo trip was magical friend, we are so thankful we were able to go and see what we saw! Thanks for all the support 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
I had 5 kids...
They were out of my bedroom at 8 weeks...
It was important to have a good night's sleep inbetween the feeds... though often wake up with bub in bed after early morning feed...
So... I never had that problem!
The reason was because I saw other parents that have endured the consequences of their decisions...
Wasn't for me!
I had to hit the ground running in the morning as we were on a farm too!
Have you planned on making any thing for Christmas...???
Enjoy your Zzzzzzz...
Blessings to all ❤
Glad you found something that worked for you Alice. We are spending this Christmas together as a family ❤️❤️
Oh my goodness - what a hoot watching the boys plant seeds in the garden with Joel. Go John, wonderful bed!
Joao has so much patience with the boys! ❤️❤️
Looking great I really hope you get some good sleep, there is nothing worse than getting hardly any sleep each night as it builds up until you are like a zombie. Kids are incredible as they might get crumpy and fussy when they are tired but they have boundless energy, unlike us! That close up of Obi was so gorgeous x
This is fantastic!! I’m hoping the boys love sleeping up there and you can finally have a good night sleep!! 😊
Thanks friend 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Excellent work as usual. May you all sleep peacefully and soundly…and separately! ✌️ ❤️ 😴
Thank you Alan!
Children sleeping in the parents bed, never, even from a new born I always had my own room, My own children never slept in our room even though when No. 6 came along and 5 were girls in a 3 bed house, definitely sardine territory, the boy was lucky with his own box room. Managed to find a 4 bed quite close for a good price but it needed work. If you pushed your bed against the wall on one side there would have been room for a standard bunk bed for the children and for a solid partition to separate yours from it so no problems with the light waking them.
Hi Newbys! Fingers crossed for a good nights sleep Tara! I enjoyed watching the chaos of family life with toddlers knowing that I'm not the one who has to live with it! 😂
Hi Claire! I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who lives with it too 😂😂
Love the new bedroom look so far. Some animal wallpaper on the back wall would be fun. Praying for some sound sleep for all. Blessings
🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Home improvements bring smiles 😊😁and sleep 🥱😴. I hope all four of you are now sleeping well!
These boys are going to grow up knowing more than most adults! Once you mentioned home schooling and I think that is terrific. Being a retired public school educator, my colleagues may not agree! However, we are in a scary, unknown future in the USA. John and Tara, you are exceptional parents. God will continue to bless you as you proceed on. Being a lover of music, maybe the use of music would be enjoyed by the boys . Good help for math skills also!! By the way, the boys look more alike daily. You are loved by all of us. Good luck on the bunks! Joel is your adopted brother! Pat, from Michigan USA.
It is indeed scary, unknown times in the US. Sending you best wishes from your neighbour in Canada 🇨🇦
22 years in the classroom. Now wishing I had homeschooled my 3 sons. I definitely would if they were school age now. Imagine, the experiences they could have had. We live between Boston and Cape Cod, have family in NC and Florida. Museums, outdoor adventures, gardening, traveling... there's so much more to life than the hours spent in a classroom. ❤
My dad was born in England and raised in Windsor. I have a few cousins there. We went there often. Canadians are fun people! Thank you for your best wishes. I can’t imagine Trump wanting to place a tariff on Canada. It will never happen! Where do you live in Canada?

I think they need to integrate in the community and learn the language..which won’t happen while isolated at home with parents who don’t speak Portuguese.
How good is João with the boys, he really is like their big brother. Loved Crusoe explaining everything to you and ending with ‘then Obi’ 😂😂. The bunk bed is looking great, so glad you have done it, the boys and yourselves definitely need your own space. It will also help when you all move into your new home and they have their own rooms xx
He is incredible with the boys Judy! ❤️❤️
Hi guys, love your enthusiasm cheers !!!
The bed looks great well done John ...its only for two years lol ❤
Beds make the room feel bigger. Fantastic idea. They are going to love it.
All I can say is Bless your hearts!! The both of you.
Fantastic work you two the boys will love those bunk beds . House foundation coming on too great stay safe and healthy my favourite family xx
I hope it's all worked out for you and you're now getting some decent sleep. One thing I did think watching the end of the video was it's going to be fun trying to make those beds! Crusoe might have a crash course in sheet changing coming up! As an idea, if you don't have the space for a door to the bathroom, you can either put a simple curtain up to block the light, or (to really ramp up the "fort" for the boys), hang curtains over their own beds. That would give you the option to have a low light on under their beds when getting ready for bed at night, without disturbing the boys.
Thanks so much for sharing your ideas with us friend! 🙏🏼🙏🏼
What a pratical and wonderful idea! The boys are going to love it! Good job, John!❤
Thanks friend! We can’t wait to see how it goes 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
What a great build John! The boys are hilarious love watching their antics, such good company for each other. You are both such sensational parents, your boys are so lucky and will have the best of lives, thanks to their great start in life 😊
They are the best company for each other friend ❤️🙏🏼
If falling out becomes a problem, then somehow, sorry, john, i have no idea how, make some sort of gate system for the gaps that maybe locks in place once the boys are in bed. Like the sides of a cot. You close it once they're in there. Great job, tho john. Amazing brain to just figure it all out.
Thanks for the suggestion Bernadette 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You could sleep in a bank- bed. A good one is expensive but very confortable. Providing you fold it up every morning it is very practical. Then you could let the boys have their own room.
Glad Joao has a good sense of humor 😂. Beds look fantastic. We built a similar “loft” bed and play area for our youngest daughter and she loved it so much! As Elizabeth commented, Crusoe was just beside himself with excitement when he looked up at the slats going in and the cool space being created just for him and his brother. So fun! Can’t wait to see it all finished out. I know it will be a beautiful bedroom ❤ Cheers!
We can’t wait to show you the finished product Kelly! 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Tara & john, what an awesome mommy & daddy! "What's the rule about playing with Daddy's toys? I mean TOOLS"! LOL 😆 Hilarious in the garden, both of them chattering away as if you can hear what they're saying 🤣 & then Cruzo saying to Daddy, "Uh Oh" like he made a mistake & measured the bed too short! 😅 Your vids always make me giggle! You guys fill my heart with joy! Good job John & sweet dreams Tara!❤❤❤😂
Glad we could put a smile on your face friend 😂❤️
Loved the garden and boys segment, what chaos!!
Beautiful chaos friend 😂😂
What a smart sulution on a problem. The boys will love it 😍
Thanks friend. We are excited to see how it goes 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Another fantastic project completed! The bunk beds look like a great solution that your boys will have so much FUN with. Brava!
I love your video’s. I feel like I personally know you and your family. Your boys are adorable. I admire all the work you have put into your farm. Keep the videos coming.
Thanks for being here for it all Judy. We love having you here with us ❤️🙏🏼😃🏡🇵🇹
The new bed for the boys looks amazing...well, well, well done!❤❤❤
The bed looks great!! And, wow! Super fun for the boys😊! This is a great space saving solution that actually adds to the appeal of the room, and you're left with a lot of useable space. We'll done! 😊Lauren😊
Thanks friend!
😊 Though, I've followed you "lot"😜 from the very beginning; this is really my very first comment to you. How you two even have time to 'view' in a week, then 'edit' then "pick" the 'music' and lastly send it all done off to TH-cam in time for the weekly show is nothing short of a "blo--- miracle". Anyway, thanks so very much for all you do. As usual, I really enjoyed today's episode as well : "The whole redoing of the upstairs bedroom with the kids now sleeping above your heads". Also loved the funky disco track you used. Can't wait till next week...😃 Un fuerte abrazo a todos.
Hi Steven. It’s great to hear from you friend. Thanks for taking the time to comment today! Your support means so so much to us. Thanks for being here 🙏🏼🙏🏼
This build is very cool John. I made a floating and regular headboard for a twin bed and would like to do a frame for my full sized one. I just love getting ideas from you guys!
LOL! The boys are just so funny today! I guess little boys are pretty much the same, wherever they are. 🥰God bless Joao.. everybody needs a Joao to make life go a little smoother! We have a big, off the floor bunk bed for my grandson.. They are so great for saving space! Under his we park all of his toys and toybox, and a little space for pillows and blankets where we read books. It works out great. 👍And so much fun! As always, love to see the vision become reality when John starts building.😍Take care, see you next time! ❤🙏🏡🚜🌞🔨🪛🪚
Everyone does need a Joao, he is incredible Louise! 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Bless you two. You can come up with any idea working together. So awesome.
I can’t wait to see the finished project 🥰🙏🏻😉❤️
A good night sleep, incoming!!! Looks great, too!
🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Why dont you sleep one night or two in the tiny house when you are exhausted, Tara? John could do the same later, so the kids are not alone if thats the problem.
I think the issue might be that the boys want to be with mum. With my grandkids when they were little that was the case anyway. So going to the tiny house to sleep may not work.
That solution works well in the room- it feels so much more spacious now.
Later you might find that making the boys’ beds a bit fiddly to make up. ( difficult to access). Perhsps when John has more time he could work out a mechanism for folding the guard rail down while bunk bed- making? Would need a safety catch to prevent the boys unlatching of course.
I’m always gob smacked at John’s creative woodworking!
Well done John - great solution.
I love how creatively you are using the space you have to create a warm and cosy family home. Tara - hope you get a better nights sleep now 🙂
I hope you were able to sleep well. I love the holiday bed idea. John can build anything. Your patience with the kiddos and all the stuff that is happening is amazing Tara ❤
Thanks so much friend 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
What a great job on the bedroom. It will be so fun for the boys! 😀
I am always amazed at John’s creativity and his ability to work with the boys around. I wish you all sweet dreams and restorative sleep. Tara, I’m also amazed at your flexibility, patience and endurance. Love watching ya’ll.
Thanks friend 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
That is a wonderful solution to your bed problem. It’s an amazing bunk bed. I think most of us would have been thinking of it being beside your bed. But leave it to John and he has created something stunning. Well done. Lots of good ZZZZZZZZ for everyone. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🥰🥰🥰🥰😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴😴
NICE bunks!!! Had it my head for their heads to be opposite… but I like Your idea better!!! Good luck changing the bedding. So glad John is Tall!
Hope y’all get some good rest now!
*Taras’ giggle. Too cute!
Thanks friend! 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Loving it all needed wort for the boys❤it really took me back to my mom and mine work for very similar work for my two boys work and testing area....we slept in a similar area ....wonderful moment for all of us🤗💝🥰💯💫👍
I loved the boys' bed, great job John?
So far so good! I always wait in such anticipation to see the end result and it's hard waiting 😅😅 so I hope Wednesday we will get to see the end product.
We can’t wait to share the end result with you soon friend 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Oh I love this! Great job and hoping you all have the best nights sleep!
Thanks Tara! We are excited to see how this goes 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Well! The world has positively loved the bunk bed solution! And John, it’s a treat to see you score the perfect ‘build’ yet again! Sooo resourceful and focused on providing a winning solution for this sleeping comfortably issue. Done!
And the blackout curtain for the bath….another perfect solution! Just wondering if the outdoor shower is useful? Great for rinsing most of the dirt off before using the washing machine! I would! And I can see the boys using that in their teens…… Happy Holidays to all, including Joao and Mario and their families. I too, wonder if Joao is learning so much from John? Or does he know how to build already? I’m thinking he knows the farming existence from his own family. He is still so shy! And so wonderful with the little boys! Ginger from Michigan
Hi Ginger! Great to hear from you. To be honest we haven’t really used the outdoor shower as we always have someone on the farm. I’m sure the boys will love it when they’re a bit older! John loves working with Joao, we are so appreciative of all his help 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Bunk beds, yes!!! Knew that would be the solution!
Always amazed at how quickly John can build things! Lucky boys! Bed looks great! Hope you all get a good nights sleep tonight!
Bed looks great- and what an adventure for the boys. Wonderful solution, I hope it works for you, it can only be better!!
🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Hi Newbys. Love the bunk beds for Crusoe and Sawyer. Another original idea and piece of furniture by John.
However, where is Obi Watermelon going to sleep.
That's the next project, making a bed for Obi.
Obi Watermelon will sleep on the floor beside the bed 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Great project Newbys can't wait to see the final touch sure the boys will love it / Almost had a feeling John would go for one of those Danish traditional farmer's built in pocket beds but love the design
Thanks friend! 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Oh Tara, you remind me of my "tired" daughter. She has 4 and 2 year olds....and teaches 24 Grade 1 students.
You are at a very busy time in your boy's life. I hope the new bed situation helps you all get good sleep.
I love it when John says, "Let's build."
❤ from Canada 🇨🇦
🥳🥳 Yay! While I too loved my babies in our bed, there definitely comes a time for more space. Great solution for your space that I clearly visualised when you first mentioned it a few months ago. Looking forward to seeing the ladders and bedside tables complete. Great work as always John 👍
Thanks Tiinah 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
You could add some tap lights on the bottom of the bunk, for reading for mom and dad. Looks great! Hope you all got a better night sleep😴😴😴😴
Great idea friend! 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
the magic hands of john..good job john 👏👏👏..happy tara ❤❤
Genius idea John looks great, Tara. Why don't you put a pull down blind so the light from the bathroom doesn't disturb the boys? It also would look like a wide picture above your bed ❤
Great idea to put a blind there. Thanks friend 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Hope the boys slept well in there bunk beds can't wait to see the finished work ❤
Thanks Faith 🛏️😁❤️🙏🏼
Your two beautiful boys are so funny when they are together they bring joy to my heart more videos of their chatter please ❤
❤️❤️
A ladder on each side and Bob’s your uncle! Well done John.
Thanks Diana!
Whoop-Whoop the Newbys!!
Awe the boys are so cute❤🎉🎉
Love is a bridge between you and everything 🥰💜❣️❣️❣️❣️
NOW it feels like the holidays because Renee posted a Vlogmas video! ❤ Thank you for sharing your special ornaments and your sweet family traditions! I hope you feel 100% soon!
