Functioning Rooms

For a while we had a queen mattress on the floor in Evan's room when Laura was staying with us. After she left, Evan stayed in the boys room in his playpen and me and Tim started sleeping in Evan's room on the mattress on the floor because it made our backs feel better. Then Evan started climbing out of the playpen and he too was on a mattress on the floor. After another month of that and seeing how hard it was having all three boys in one room, I decided to finally give Joshua what he's been asking for, for a year: His OWN room. I've been sorting clothes and toys, garbage and books, videos, and just EVVVVVERYTHING. I'm surrounded by bins. 

But Joshua officially has his own room. Saturday my dad dropped off the trundel bed they had stored in the basement. I bought Joshua a Spongebob comforter so it would "go" with the mint green paint on the wall. (Spiderman definitely wouldn't) I also gave the train table to Mary's boys and I hear they love it, and that makes me really happy. I got Joshua a plastic 'dresser' drawer thing from Target. It's deep and wide....(feel free to break out in song) But yea, his clothes fit great in it. He's growing and his drawers needed to also. Then I took the bookshelf that was in his closet and put it in what I now call the "Spiderman Room" It was too confusing the week of transition because people weren't all in their own/new rooms. But everyone NOW is in their own room. 

Evan is still on a mattress on the floor because I haven't put the bed rail together but I will get to that... eventually. Me and Tim are sleeping on 2 mattresses on top of each other on top of a boxspring...I feel like the Princess and the Pea. But Donna's been looking for a bed for us because it's been on her heart for months and months. Since last year I believe. And she's blessing us with one we pick and that reallllllly excites me. I probably should take a picture on how my bed is now because it is quite comical. 

Anyway, I still have so many bins in my living room, kitchen, hallway, washer/dryer nook, bedrooms. I neeeeeeeeeeeed to get that cleared out tomorrow. 

I've been hanging outside because it's been gourgeous but I get nothing done in the house. So tomorrow I had the idea of bringing everything outside so the boys can play in the yard and swingset and I can go through stuff and enjoy the weather : )

So I'm looking forward to that. 

Then Friday morning is Pre-K registration! And that evening Tim & I are meeting Jonny & Laura for dinner at Tom & Nadine's. I'm realllllly looking forward to a night of adult conversation and no kiddies! 

Busy Busy. 

One day not only will everyone be comfortably in their own rooms on comfortable beds but the rooms will function and that's gonna be awesome!
