Finishing Projects

Happy Monday! Oh, and Happy Memorial Day as well! Technically this would have been Justin's first holiday off since his holiday shut-down...but alas he is at work! So the kiddos and I are hanging at home for a bit before we head over to Joann's to get a couple things to finish decorating their room.

See...at first when we found out we were pregnant with #2 we were not going to make a nursery for the baby. Why? Because we knew the baby would sleep with us for a while so why bother?

Fast forward to about 21 weeks pregnant. After we found out the baby was a boy. I suddenly HAD to make a "space" for the baby. I felt like he was just as important as Ellie so why wouldn't we at least make him a space? We decided Ellie and the baby could share a room so we bought Ellie her big girl bed, turned the toddler bed back to a crib and I got shopping. 

I also suffered from horrific crazy nesting syndrome with this pregnancy. I was obsessed with cleaning out every closet and the garage. We even had ourselves a garage sale, and then gave away ALL the stuff we didn't sell to my friend so she could sell it.

It felt awesome and freeing!

(Too bad 6 months later you can't tell all the work I did...but I digress...)

Anyway I had ALL these great ideas for decorating the kids room...how to bring the girl and boy bedding together...and then it happened.

Exhaustion. 

The kind that comes with having a 2 year old with medical issues (that at the time were being diagnosed) and being 34 weeks pregnant. 

So the room became a blank slate. For months. And if you know me, you know this drives me crazy.

So....my goal this week is to finish up the projects in there and get it FINISHED!

Off to Joann's we go with our coupon and their Memorial Day Sale! Hopefully this will settle my ADD brain which will NOT stop "creating" things 24-7 in  my head. Ever since fundraising stopped....my poor brain apparently needs more stimulation than playing Little People and Peek-A-Boo.

One thing I do to keep my brain occupied is...take pictures of the babies...so here are a few! Happy Monday! Will you get some projects done this week?

HI!

Nothing like a boy and his doggie!
