It seems that the last few weeks, Thursdays are not my day for a blog post :-) I seem to remember that I had something I wanted to post about but I'm going to save that for next week. This has been a busy week because . .. we changed rooms!!! We decided that since we can't paint or put the floors in right this "minute" that we would go ahead and move rooms and then paint as soon as we can around the stuff in the room and hopefully put the floors in by the end of September.
On Sunday we moved all of our stuff into what was Josh's room and we love it. It's not quite done - I need to move a curtain, take down some vinyl, and order some new vinyl when I can (I have it picked out, just need to save for it!). We then just kinda threw Josh's stuff into what was our room thinking that the boys would want to keep sleeping in Nate's room. Wrong. We had to drag the toddler mattress into the new room and both boys slept there. So, on Wednesday, I moved all of the rest of the stuff into their new room and they just love it. They played in there most of the day. Nate is very ready for his big boy bed so I don't think we'll be waiting for his birthday for that gift ;-) Considering the fact that he can now climb in and out of his crib . . .what's the point, right? I have some art to make for the walls still but I know what I'm making and hope to have it done by Labor Day Weekend.
Also on Wednesday, I cleaned Nate's room, moved two banquet tables in that will be our desks for the time being and moved in two book cases from elsewhere in the house to use for storage of everything from scrapbooking to school supplies. Right now, as I write this post on Wednesday night, the classroom looks like a storage room but my goal is that by Thursday evening, it will be all put together The last of the school books/supplies are expected in this week so I want to have the room ready to finish up my planning. I want to pick up a few posters at the teachers store still and have one piece of vinyl I want to order for the door. I should say that the new classroom will also house a space for my husband to record his music. It should give him more opportunity to do so instead of having to move everything to the basement every time he wants to record.
My living room is looking less like a toy closet and more like, well, a living room. I still have a card table to clear off and move out (that I've been using for planning and scrapbooking the last few weeks) once I have cleaned up the classroom and made room for everything. Even my dining room looks roomier since one of the afore mentioned bookcases used to stand in the dining room and just looked cluttered.
Nope, no pictures yet. I did attempt to get some before photos (my husband always seemed to be a few steps ahead of me so I never got the "true" room) and look forward to some after photos soon!
