A Room at the Bottom

Okay, so Ryleigh is getting super excited about her new room in the basement. So, we decided we would start working on getting things rearranged and organized so we can start the redecorating/moving process. My thought was we would do a little at a time, since, after all, we have at least 18 months before Reese is home with us. But, it seems, when you start, it is hard to stop!!! One mess leads to another and then before you know it, everything is piled here and there and it's total chaos!!! Yikes. So, my thought has changed to this... get everything out of Ry's new room and get the stuff put in it's new place (which requires rearranging a ton of stuff). We will have a new Arts and Crafts space in Tim's office, a new sewing space in the storage room where the water heater is, and a new napping room for the babysitting kids. I just know once we get this stuff done, I will feel so great and organized!!! Everything has a place, it just needs to be cleaned and moved! We are total pack-rats, but I am going to have to get rid of some of this junk!

I am anxious to see how we end up decorating Ryleigh's room. She came to the conclusion that a "monkey-basketball" room would be really cool. Yeah, good luck finding that decor. Luckily Aunt Lori is going through wallpaper books and paint swatches to give us some more reasonable ideas! We shall see...

Easter is upon us and this Easter bunny has fallen a little behind on the job. It's impossible to buy stuff ahead of time when your kids are always with you! I hope I can sneak away long enough to get a little something! I didn't even remember to get out the Easter decorations. Oh well, there's always next year!
