Before and After

Note: We had every intention of sitting down to a relaxing evening with the opening ceremonies but that so did not happen.

It all started with Katelyn not sleeping well. Again. She has not been the best sleeper since day 1 really, and last week we noticed once she really fell into a deep sleep, she moaned all night long. Not great for us light sleepers. I knew it was problem when Dave even heard her in the middle of the night. He ususally doesn't start hearing them until around 5. So something had to be done. So we moved the toddler bed out and put her in a BIG bed. On Friday after lunch I took the matresses off and started to rearrange the room. I moved even the frame, with a little help from Kelsey even and it was starting to look like a room again. After I got everything put back, I decided I wanted the dresser back in the room so they could have one room for playing and the other for sleeping and dressing. Not having to walk back and forth like before. But with the set up of the room, there was no way to not block even half the window.

So I called Dave at work to prep him for moving the dresser back into the bedroom because he didn't want it in there in the first place. When he got home, we started measuring everything out and had me convinced it wasn't going to work anyway we moved it. And then I got a sneaky idea. I knew he was not going to like me very much so I didn't tell him exactly what I was planning or thinking, but it did not take him very long. His only response was, "Get thee hence, Woman!!"

We had come home from a trip to Lowes for another project on my To-Do list for the weekend and started the forbidden moving of the rooms at 6:30 with dinner nowhere in sight. Surprisingly it only took 3 hours from start to finish, with dinner in there and the girls were in their beds.

The before:

The after:

Notice Kelsey's making of her bed. Pretty good job, for bunk beds. I hate making them!!

So now everything fits and the room finally looks finished. Well, almost. I have a few last touches that will be added in a couple of days.
But now the toy room looks really boring. I'm not allowed to touch that room. Until the next one. So it'll be awhile.
