Working with what we have...

I love our cute little house more than anything, and I know how lucky we are to have it, but every once inawhile, I dream of a little more space- especially after Friday morning. I took the crib down and put it in the big kids room- and then rearranged the bunk beds, book case and dresser thing over and over again. I couldn't find anything that worked. The furniture just looked goofy everywhere I put it. So after sore arms and moving stuff I had no right to be moving- I stopped and gave up. I think where it all ended up was the best- it's what I had to work with and I think it will be fine.

I also scored at the dollar store with their plastic bins! Blue and green to match the room. I thought it would be difficult to combine the rooms- but it's working. I have craft projects to work on to baby it up- but it's started at least.




Baby blankets...

I was so excited to shop for boy fabric this weekend! I adore girly fabric the most- but looking at blues, greens and browns was kind of fun! I had to stop myself, because I have a little tiny fabric addiction (that does not need to be addressed at this time!)
These are the 4 I picked up on Friday & last night!

Baby Clothes...

After we found out it was a boy- the fun began! Like getting out 10 year old clothes when Tristin was a baby to see if anything would work for this little man. I quickly learned that yard sales were needed for 0-6 months. I was lucky to find 2 sales on Friday and the first one had exactly what I needed- newborn onesies & sleepers! Yeah! .25 & .50 baby!Love it!

Saying goodbye to the cousins...

Over the weekend, we drove to Oakley to say goodbye to Trav's sister, Ellen & the cousins. They are headed off to Florida in 2 weeks and we knew we had to go say goodbye. We stayed 1 night and all the kids did was play- it was great. We will miss you guys!!!
