Changing Bedrooms

The influx of papers from Tyler's Kindergarten career has taken over our house. This was the basic catalyst behind our decision to redo the kids' bedrooms. Tyler and Maggie had been sharing a bedroom and the extra room was our guest room. (Ok Maggie actually was sleeping with Mommy and Daddy, but her stuff was upstairs). After Ty started school he decided he wanted a desk and I was only too happy to give him someplace to draw and store all the papers he refuses to part with.

So we found a desk on Craig's List and began a weekend of rearranging. Tyler kept his bedroom but got a new bed. He now is sleeping in the Queen size bed that was in the guest room. Not too shabby for a 5 year old to have such a big bed! His room looks very nice. We do need to indulge his affection for the color red somehow by adding some border to his room. The kid wants me to paint his room red and purple, but that just is not going to happen.

Maggie's new room was a little more difficult. The closet in that room had been our storage closet since we moved so we had alot of things to clear out and go through. Then we moved her toddler bed and Tyler's old twin bed into her new room. She has been sleeping in the toddler bed for the time being. I still have alot of things to do in her room. We need to: paint, get quilts for the beds, get her a dresser, and finish organizing the last 3 boxes remaining in her room. But she does have her own room and has been going to sleep there with only a small amount of complaining (well, the first night it was ALOT of complaining).

That is what we have been up to. In a few days we are all off to California for an exciting vacation. Jeff and I will also be celebrating our 7 year Anniversary on Sunday.
Love,
Donita
