Thanks to all the rain, and early morning school drop-offs, I needed to get a few umbrellas for the boys. Thade asked for one that had Spider Man on it, and Dylan well you’ve probably guessed wanted one with Spongebob.
Dylan was more than happy to see the rainy weather stick around for a bit. He had a blast playing outside with his new umbrella.
Yesterday I took the kiddos upstairs early, and I dove into a cleaning/organizing project. I have 4 closets that need cleaned/switched/organized, so I asked Thade what was the easiest one to start on… He said his, of course. I ran back downstairs, and got a few boxes, and started the cleaning project of the boy’s room.
A few hours later, and 6 boxes of clothing cleaned out of there too, and the boy’s closet is looking pretty good. I still need to sort through and categorize the bins of clothing that I have left, and I found enough clothing for them for the Fall and Winter season. I have an extra 2 loads of laundry to wash, but I’m all set for the cooler weather. Getting a little more mileage out of last year’s wardrobe helps out a bit too.
Maybe today I’ll start on another closet upstairs…
Running out to the store today actually made me happy… When we walked in the door I was greeted with an entire room of Halloween goodies! Just in case you didn’t already know Halloween is my very very very favorite holiday! I can’t resist the costumes and the candy too.
I picked up a Halloween onesie for the little one on the way.
And who doesn’t need a jar full of Tootsie Rolls to put you in the Halloween spirit… Now I just need to get the boy’s costumes figured out!
Here is my hubby putting the first coat of Teaberry Pink paint on the walls! I am so excited! He even let the boy’s help out a bit too.
Just in case you are wondering what he is painting over it is three shades of midnight blue. The previous owners of the house had a “space themed” bedroom for their sons, and now the walls are switching over to pretty pink. James has his work cut out for him, but I really appreciate all of his hard work on the nursery.
With a few months to go, the nursery is starting to come together. The rest of the house is a mess, but oh well, I’ll get to the rest of it eventually.This weekend I taped off the windows and trim in the nursery, and James is getting ready to paint. We also finally got the crib disassembled and out of the boy’s room. We have a lot to go through, and get organized too. I’ve been stockpiling diapers, and I’ve got a lot of tiny clothes to put away too… This is going to be a fun project, and I’ll show you some pictures as soon as those midnight blue walls are a pretty pink.
